"A Daily Show Approach to the Environment"

This Sunday on PBS's NOW, they profiled Grist.org, a Web site dedicated to environmental news and commentary. Here's how they describe themselves:

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: it's gloom and doom with a sense of humor. So laugh now -- or the planet gets it.

I encourage you to check it out!
