GRIST - Environmental News & Commentary Let's face it: reading environmental journalism too often feels like eating your vegetables. Boiled. With no butter. But at Grist, we believe that news about green issues and sustainable living doesn't have to be predictable, demoralizing, or dull. We butter the vegetables! And add salt! And strain metaphors! We exist to tell the untold stories, spotlight trends before they become trendy, and engage the apathetic. We're fiercely independent in our coverage; we throw brickbats when they're needed and bestow kudos when they're warranted. And while we take our work seriously, we don't take ourselves seriously, because of the many things this planet is running out of, sanctimonious tree-huggers ain't one of them. Grist is based in the Emerald City of Seattle, in the Evergreen State of Washington (see the green theme?), with contributors scattered the world 'round. We are a nonprofit organization funded by foundation grants, reader contributions, and just a touch of advertising. Our website and email services are free -- and worth every penny. Grist: it's gloom and doom with a sense of humor. So laugh now -- or the planet gets it. |













Rock 'n Renew has teamed up with Arbor Skateboards and Snowboards on a number of awesome projects. We began with the building of a Native Plant Garden which uses only catchment water to show students how to create spaces that help cleanse their local watershed. Look for the first set of ARBOR SKATEBOARDS featuring Rock 'n Renew STUDENT ARTWORK-THIS SUMMER!
