Review for Grist Magazine, Inc., Seattle, WA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Grist is an indispensable source of information and commentary for those, like me, committed to environmental sustainability as a profession and a path of personal living. Grist addresses the broad range of issues it addresses such as biodiversity, energy sources and uses, climate change, exponential economic growth are those vital to the survival of life on Earth for all living things and humankind. Grist addresses the issues from a systemic and practical point of view. The information is actionable for individuals and on a policy level. It is offered in clear, powerful language, with humor, delight and hope and with ways to follow-up that are very useful and timely.

Authors like Bill McKibben and those on the Grist editorial staff cover vital issues unfolding in real time so those of us can have a broad grasp of current issues as they unfold.
