Writing Opportunities- Green, Veg, Animals


I know there are at least a few of you out there who are writers, and if not writers exactly, you are passionate about getting the message out there about animal welfare, animal rights, the environment, and veganism. You have a story to share, or you'd like to be a regular contributor. I recently received a list of places that are looking for contributions for their periodicals, magazines, websites, etc. I thought I'd share some with you today.

We’re looking for people with a healthy combination of pop culture experience/obsession and passion for topics like humanitarian issues, healthy eating, the environment, charity, science, animal rights, and other pertinent issues.
