Write for Us Environment: Environment and Sustainability Guest Post Guidelines

Most environment content is either alarming news or vague promises. Business owners want something else: what they can change, what it costs, what it saves and how to talk about it without greenwashing. What this blog wants is practical environmental action told by the people who did it, with numbers attached.

My readers are business owners, founders and marketers. Many want to run a greener business but do not have a sustainability team or a big budget. An environment post has to show them the next practical step, whether that is energy, waste, travel, suppliers or how they communicate it.

60-second environment guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you made or measured the environmental change you describe
• Can you share a real number, saving or before and after
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Would a small business owner know what to do after reading it
• Have you removed any pitch for one product, scheme or consultancy

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Cutting energy, waste or water in a small business, with the numbers
• Measuring a business carbon footprint without a consultant
• Green marketing that avoids greenwashing, with real examples
• Sustainable suppliers, materials and packaging switches
• Remote work, travel and commuting changes and their impact
• Environmental certifications and whether they were worth it
• Circular economy ideas: repair, reuse, refill and rental
• Environmental rules and reporting explained for small firms
• Community and nature projects run by businesses

If your post could be published on any environment site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

• Greenwashing and vague green claims
• General climate explainers with no practical lesson
• Promotion of one product, scheme or consultancy
• Political opinion pieces with no business angle
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong environment pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about why climate change matters to everyone." A strong one says "Our twelve person office cut its electricity use by a quarter in six months with timers, a supplier switch and one rule about monitors, so I want to show the bills before and after and the changes that made no difference at all." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Cutting a small office energy bill, the real numbers
• Measuring your carbon footprint in an afternoon
• Green claims that got a brand in trouble, and how to avoid them
• Switching suppliers for sustainability without losing margin
• Zero waste goals in a food or retail business
• Remote work and its real environmental impact
• Sustainability certifications: which ones customers noticed
• Refill, repair and reuse as a business model
• Talking about sustainability on social media honestly
• Greener events and conferences, with the costs
• Environmental reporting made simple for small firms
• A sustainability change that failed and what it taught

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept environment guest posts?

Yes. Environment and sustainability guest posts are welcome from people who have made real changes and can share the results. We publish practical articles for business owners and decline greenwashing and general climate explainers.

What environment topics do you accept?

Energy, waste, water, carbon measurement, sustainable suppliers and packaging, green marketing, certifications, the circular economy, environmental reporting and community projects, all with a practical business angle.

Do you accept posts about climate policy?

Only when they explain what a policy or rule means for a business in practical terms. Opinion pieces with no business lesson are declined.

Can sustainability consultants write for you?

Yes, if the post is built on real client examples and helps readers who will never hire you. Posts that read like a sales pitch are declined.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit an environment guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own environmental experience. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
