Environmental Skills, Reimagined

Transferable Solutions launched as a pilot email-only newsletter in December 2024. This is its new home. Thank you for stopping by to learn more. 

Transferable Solutions aims to help professionals name, develop, and articulate the skills they’ve earned so they can apply their experience with clarity, confidence, and agency, wherever they choose to work.

This publication is for environmental professionals whose expertise lies in teaching and learning, ecology, facilitation, and leadership. It is for professionals seeking perspective, language, and pathways to apply that experience sustainably and earn a living wage.

Meet people like you.

Join a community of environmental professionals who share your interests and vision for a considerate, science-smart world. Think of this publication as the "local news" for environmental education professionals who want to apply their experience beyond traditional roles without abandoning what they care about.

Help us build community, facilitate connections, and reimagine environmental education.

About Tania

Tania Marien, Founder

I'm a science communicator, writer, and journalist with 27 years of experience creating learning opportunities, writing for public audiences, and teaching in informal learning environments. I hold a professional certificate in Free-Choice Learning from Oregon State University — a framework about learning environments in which individuals have genuine choice and control. I've been documenting the independent EE workforce since 2018.

Past roles include serving as the editor, educator, and bookseller at ArtPlantae, a resource connecting artists, naturalists, and educators. More recently, I had the opportunity to collaborate with others and contribute to The Carbon Almanac and Storytelling to Accelerate Climate Solutions.
