Site of the Day for Thursday, August 29, 2002 Grist Magazine -- "Gloom and Doom with a sense of Humor" For those gentle members who are keeping an eye on matters environmental, the List offers a website with a refreshing vantage point. "Grist is an online environmental magazine. Our credo: Pull no punches, take no prisoners, accept no advertising. Eschew the wealth and fame that so often seduce online environmental journalists. And try to have a better sense of humor than a pack of fur protesters. . . Grist, a project of Earth Day Network, tackles environmental topics with irreverence, intelligence, and a fresh perspective. Our goal is to inform, entertain, provoke, and encourage creative thinking about environmental problems and solutions. We publish new content each weekday -- in-depth reporting, cartoons, summaries of breaking news stories, diary entries from activists, book reviews, an environmental advice column, and lots more. We're based in Seattle, and our contributors are scattered the world 'round." - from the website The site is currently featuring daily reports from the environment summit in Johannesburg and includes topical news from around the world in the Daily Grist / Northern Lights section. Additional features provide alternative energy scene reports, climate change coverage, and sustainable living articles.
