Freelance Writer and Editor
Brian Merchant is a freelance writer, blogger, and editor living in Brooklyn, NY. He started his writing career covering pop culture and independent music for the likes of Paste, Death + Taxes, and Citysearch.com, but his passion has turned towards environmental and social issues. Brian is also a writer for Planet Green, where he focuses on technology, community greening guides, and eco-related politics, among other things. His love of music and film still persists, so when they happen to intersect with environmentalism, he gets especially excited. The more environmentalism enters public discourse, the more the ‘go green’ mantra begins to positively impact big business and presidential politics—and the more likely we are to see genuine change in environmental policy and developments in sustainable technologies. This is why Brian is particularly interested in the social impacts of the modern environmental movement—and the people, media and organizations involved in the continued mainstreaming of green. And this is why he’s right at home at TreeHugger.
