File under: dubious accomplishments	David Roberts	20 May 2007	Gristmill

For a Moment John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry chat about their new environmental book	Amanda Griscom Little	29 Mar 2007	Main Dish
The environment brought them together. And now, together, they've brought out a book on the environment. (No flip-flop jokes, please.) John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry. Photo: Diana Walker John Kerry first met Teresa Heinz at an Earth Day rally in 1990. The two reconnected at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, and then, three years later, wed. He continued to f ...

The most important eco-books: an alternative list Newer and cheekier!	Emily Gertz	21 Dec 2006	Gristmill
With sincere respect to my colleagues across the Atlantic (this is all a matter of opinion, after all), I'm dismayed by some of the choices on their list of most important environmental books. Hoary tomes like The Lorax, an analysis of the impact of pesticides on the environment that's nearly a half-century old (I shake in my boots to criticize La Carson thus) ... if the list were of books that had a big impact in their time, or books that will bolster the sentiments of ...

Cradle to Cradle certification arrives	David Roberts	14 Oct 2005	Gristmill
Ever since I first heard him mention it, I've been wondering when Bill McDonough's "Cradle to Cradle Certification" program was going to become a reality. I think it has huge potential to become for product design what LEED has become for green building (though probably, as Jamais cautions, more slowly and fitfully). Well, via WC, here it is. The first six recipients have been announced. Cradle to cradle is a biomimetic approach to design, wherein ev ...

In praise of corporation bashing Michael Shellenberger for the prosecution	David Roberts	21 Apr 2005	Gristmill
So I'm reading this American Prospect essay by Michael Shellenberger (yes, he of Death fame/infamy) -- which is quite good, but not about anything environmental -- when I stumble across this other essay he did for the same pub, in 2002. It's about Cradle to Cradle author Bill McDonough, and how his politics aren't quite as sophisticated as his design ideas. I flag it only because it -- particularly the latter half -- makes some good points that serve as a counter ...

Even more Verdopolis	David Roberts	11 Feb 2005	Gristmill
The very bestest Verdopolis coverage in the whole galaxy is, of course, ours. However, should you want to sample what else the web has to offer, there's more over on Treehugger, covering a speech (delivered via DVD!?) by the justly legendary Bill McDonough.

Hire Learning Kevin Doyle, environmental-career guru, answers Grist's questions		13 Dec 2004	InterActivist
Kevin Doyle. With what environmental organization are you affiliated? I'm one of two national program directors at The Environmental Careers Organization (authors of the new book The ECO Guide to Careers That Make a Difference -- see below). At least, that's my current title. I've worked for ECO since 1984, and in that time I've been Pacific Northwest regional director, national general manager, director ...

My Interview With Andre Grist chats with Andre Heinz, environmental activist and stepson of John Kerry	Amanda Griscom	07 Sep 2004	Main Dish
Some may cry nepotism when they see Andre Heinz, the middle son of Teresa Heinz Kerry, take to the podium as one of the leading spokespeople on the environment for John Kerry's presidential campaign, but his ascent is hardly without merit. True, he has deliberately steered clear of a career inside the Beltway, so in some senses he is new to the political scene. But ...
