  Water!

  I'd love to see Grist and Gristmill pay more attention to water issues (clean water; water scarcity; the health of rivers/streams; water privatization).

  As they say, water will be the oil of the 21st century...On Help Grist and Gristmill improve posted 3 years, 5 months ago 27 Responses

  Sticking up for hunters

  A word for the hunters -- My husband hunts upland birds like grouse and pheasant and he is neither "beer swilling" nor "pot-bellied". In fact, he is the most passionate environmentalist I know and has worked to protect land and water for his entire professional career. I've never met anyone who cares about rivers, clean water, wilderness, and fish & wildlife more. Good hunters (and yeah, there are some bad hunters out there) have a true conservation ethic.

  Earth to America special

  People - just be happy that there was a two-hour long special about global warming on TV. We (enviros) tend to be so picky. I thought most of it was funny. It's a start, a step in bringing this issue into mainstream thinking.

  Will Ferrell was great in his Bush impression. While Faith Hill and Tim McGraw weren't the best/funniest part of the show, I did think it was good to include these traditionally "red-state" stars.On How did the comedy special on global warming do? posted 4 years ago 4 Responses
