Grist is a nonprofit news org for people who want a planet that doesn’t burn and a future that doesn’t suck.

Grist has been dishing out environmental news and commentary with a wry twist since 1999 -- which, to be frank, was way before most people cared about such things. Now that green is in every headline and on every store shelf (bamboo hair gel, anyone?), Grist is the one site people can count on to help in making sense of it all.
