As you may know, I’m co-Founder and Editor of Ecorazzi.com, a popular "green gossip" website – eco-friendly paparazzi, if you will. On Ecorazzi, we’ve got team members all over the world contributing content to our site. Not just writers, either: field reporters, photographers, videographers, and more. I’ve always treated greenerMIAMI quite differently than Ecorazzi, and I’m beginning to wonder why.

Sure, greenerMIAMI is a sub-topic of an already small subject, but there is a lot going on in the environmental arena locally, and a lot of people that are interested in hearing about it. So, we are now officially looking to grow the greenerMIAMI "staff", if you will. Please note that all of these positions are VOLUNTEER, but will be a lot of fun, and interesting to say the least. If you have written us before regarding an interest to contribute, please write us again – there are a lot of emails coming in and we don’t want to or mean to skip over you.

Positions available include, but are not limited to:

• Bloggers: general environment / Miami topics or select your own "beat" and write about a specific eco-issue.
• Bloggers en español: Escribe o traduce sobre el medio ambiente y Miami
• Field Reporters: attend local eco-events and report back on them. A digital audio recorder is nice to have, a digital camera is almost necessary.
• Video Producers: we need more original content! Attend events or create your own locally focused eco-videos
• Photographers: a picture is worth a 1,000 words!
• Podcasters: we could definitely use an audio piece, as well
• Programmers / Designers: ideally, greenerMIAMI will become a full blown website – if you’d like to help and have some tech experience/background, we’ve definitely got some work to do in that area

The possibilities are endless. If one of these ideas doesn’t float your boat but you’ve got one of your own, let us know! Do eco-experiments and write about them! Blog about your daily experiences riding the bus! Go on a quest to recycle! 

If you are interested in any of these volunteer positions with greenerMIAMI, please send us an email. If blogging is what you are after, please send a sample post that is relevant and appropriate for the site. Please be aware that if it is accepted, it will be posted to the site with credit to you. If you are with a non-profit environmental organization, consider having a monthly column on greenerMIAMI that you post yourself.

We look forward to hearing from you and have you help make greenerMIAMI.com a resource FOR the community, BY the community!

To all of our new readers, please add greenerMIAMI to your favorites, or subscribe to our updates via email. Each time we publish something new, you’ll receive the full content in your inbox.

It’s almost Earth Day and we hope you’ll come celebrate with us on Sunday @ EarthFest!

More local green presence on the web can only be a great thing. He’ll be bringing us news specifically related to green building, LEED, and more – all on a local level.
