Zion is a passionate science advocate and environmental writer who wants to change the world for the better.
Zion is the author of the evidence-based book The Ultimate Guide to Green Parenting, the nature poetry book Only a Moment, and has contributed to Rob Greenfield's Zero Waste Kids. She has been called “Britain’s greenest mother” by The Daily Telegraph and “an eco-pragmatist, happily heavy on science” by The Guardian. Zion is an astronomer and her TEDx talk, Don’t Forget to Look Up, is on the importance of stargazing.
Zion founded The Hourglass newspaper, the first climate reporting newspaper in the UK. Hourglass reached a print run of 180k copies that were distributed across the UK by a network of volunteers. As Editor in Chief Zion managed a team of Hourglass staff and coordinated interviews with figures including Margaret Atwood, Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman, Christiana Figueres, Ray Mears, Michael Eavis, and Maxine Peake.
A review of Hourglass in The Guardian concluded: "The newspaper is worth a look, striking that all-important balance between horror and optimism. Come on, it’s important, buy a copy – except you don’t have to, it’s free!"

She was the Co-Editor of JUNO magazine for several years, and has written for The Metro, Die Welt, Atlantico.fr, Marianne, The Telegraph, City AM, BBC Wildlife Magazine, Resurgence magazine, The Green Parent, The Ecologist and many other publications.
