Hi
Barrett,
Thanks
for the note. I read your piece on Vanity Fair’s about Thomas Friedman. I
share your sentiments. Are you really interested in writing about green
products/companies? That initially is what our site will be covering. If so, I’d
love to discuss. We’d be looking for quick hitting product reviews or
news bits about how, say, Loomstate organics is going to be available at Target
in a few weeks or how Enterprise-Rent-A-Car is expanding its Vanpool service www.vanpool.com to Atlanta. I would love
these topics to be spun in ways that are informative yet cleverly sarcastic and
pithy. For starters, we’re looking for 5 posts per week for $100.
Let
me know if this resonates with you.
Best,
Josh

Howdy-
I understand that you're looking for freelancers to handle content for The Lazy
Environmentalist, and I'd like to be considered for assignments. My work has
appeared in Vanity Fair, Skeptic, National Lampoon,
McSweeney's, The Onion A.V. Club, and dozens of other publications,
and my first book, Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism, Intelligent
Design, and The Easter Bunny was released in 2007. I've also done several
pieces on green topics targeted towards both consumers and industry professionals.
I've attached my resume; please take a look and let me know if you'd like to
discuss this further.
Thanks,
Barrett Brown
