Everything for a greener lifestyle! If you can totally identify with this motto and are an experienced copywriter, we are looking for... Thegreenlist.nl is looking for freelance copywriters. We are looking for all-round types who don't turn their hand to a little research or sharing cool sustainable tips. In addition, we would love to have an interior design expert on board and we would also like to write more about living, forgotten crafts such as repairing, fermenting and vegetable gardening and the more technical (energy) subjects.
EXPERIENCED COPYWRITERS WANTED
Thegreenlist.nl is the greener lifestyle magazine. With an emphasis on greener, because we want to entice everyone to join us. We want to show that living more sustainably is both important and fun, that you can still have just as many adventures and enjoy life. We are averse to finger-pointing and the don't-do-it-good-enough mentality. No way, we totally get that a weekend in Barcelona is great, but we see it as a challenge to find that vibe closer to home. Our mission is to give people daily ideas for a more sustainable life. We do this via the website, socials, (e)books, our newsletter, the podcast series ‘Die duurzame meiden’, for beautiful brands and, since 2022, founder Saskia can regularly be seen on TV as a sustainable lifestyle expert.
