Hi HN! Most of us want to do more in the battle against climate change - it’s tough when your work life is unrelated. Right now, if you want to find a job that helps the planet, there’s no clear way to go about that. You could look for environmentally focused companies individually and keep checking their site to see if they are hiring. But that’s tedious and it’s easy to miss new postings. Conventional job boards do…

There's no way to know who you are from the page, it's completely anonymous. For me that's always a big big warning sign for any site.

Good call, I'll add some kind of About component

;-) Awesome! FWIW I dug in and found a comment from you on the community forums and found collective.energy and your site, so it's not as bad as I thought at first. I also want to add that you and your work and community seem really great. Cheers!

Not intentional or requested on my part. Please feel free to delete those comments mods

I believe you that you didn't request them explicitly, but it's clear from the data that those were posts by friends or fans who thought it would be a good way to help you out. In reality, booster comments are the worst thing that people can do to help their friends on HN, because the community here sniffs them out at truffle-pig levels and regards them as spamming.
