Sustainable Fashion Copy Writer (Internship/Part Time)

About Us

We want to raise the standard of doing business.

Knowing the truth about the stuff we buy shouldn’t be such a novel concept. When we know more, we choose better and those choices add up. Right now, too many big brands and businesses hide behind vague or false sustainability claims. That leaves us, you, and everyone else confused and making decisions in the dark. 

You deserve clear, trustworthy, and actionable information to inform where your money goes.

And, it should be so simple to find alternatives to mass/fast fashion that people can’t help but shop sustainably. We build our browser extension to find sustainable styles based on what you’re already shopping for.  

United by Zero evaluates products across hundreds of data points representing seven critical categories of sustainability: chemical use, water use, supply chain transparency, circularity, humanity, animal welfare, and C02 and energy use. The result: the Z-Score.

The Z-Score was created to bring transparency to commerce so we can align our values with our choices. 

United By Zero encourages you to support brands that align with your values. Buy products built to last. Then recycle the hell out of them.
