Driving in Circles		13 Mar 2001	Letters
Write your own letter. Your letters about our three-part automobile series showed that Grist readers are all over the map on this issue. Here's a taste of the letters we received about Detroit Sucks, Bush Sucks, and Enviros Suck. Dear Editor: The consumer sucks for not demanding more fuel-efficient vehicles. Tom DeBates Geneva, Ill. Dear Editor: In his book, Culture Jam, Kalle Lasn talks about the "uncooling" of the automobile and offers what I ...

Nader Say Nader Again And other words from readers		25 Oct 2000	Letters
Write your own letter. Your letters on Ralph Nader keep coming and coming. Here are a few of the latest missives. (And if you just can't read enough on this juicy topic, check out our first, second, and third batches of Nader letters.) Dear Editor: There's a point that appears to have been missed in the Nader/Gore/Bush "wasted vote" debate. All of the letters I read have missed something about the way we elect presiden ...

Nader-Nader Land? And other words from readers		28 Sep 2000	Letters
Write your own letter. A number of the following comments on campaign 2000 and Green Party candidate Ralph Nader are responses to a set of letters published previously. Dear Editor: I read all the letters posted on the Nader-Gore-Bush debate. I had planned to vote for Ralph Nader, but with the benefit of so many other perspectives, I realize that my vote is more important to keep Bush out of office. I live in Texas and it is clear ...

Easy for Us to Say And other words from readers		12 Sep 2000	Letters
Write your own letter. Dear Editor: I'm a little concerned with the pressure environmental groups are putting on less developed countries (whose standards of living are below those of the U.S.) to halt what many in these countries might see as improvements in their daily lives. I say this mainly because many people living in these areas look to the U.S., with its many conveniences like highways and shopping malls, cars and air con ...

Yea or Nay for Nader And other words from readers		29 Jun 2000	Letters
Write your own letter. Grist readers are mighty opinionated when it comes to Green Party presidential nominee Ralph Nader.

Dear Editor: Believing Ralph Nader can get elected this year is ...

Nader Over Gore? Get Real And other words from readers		16 Jun 2000	Letters
Write your own letter. Re: Won't You Be My Nader?, Global Citizen, by Donella H. Meadows Dear Editor: I am disappointed to hear that Donella Meadows plans to vote for Ralph Nader and is encouraging her readers to do the same. While I agree that he is more committed to environmental issues than Al Gore, voting for Gore is, in Meadows's own words, "the undeniably rational argument." I fear what will happen if Georg ...

Simple City Livin' And other words from readers		16 May 2000	Letters
Write your own letter. Re: Lean and Green, Main Dish, by Lisa Jones Dear Editor: I read with interest your story on the family in Colorado that made the choice to live more simply and consume less in an effort to improve their quality of life and lessen their impact on the environment. I fully endorse the idea of simplifying one's life, spending less, and making choices that result in lessening one's contribution to the waste strea ...

Make Mine Manure-Covered		16 Mar 2000	Letters
Write your own letter. Re: Food for Thought, Global Citizen, by Donella H. Meadows Dear Editor: As a fan of organic produce and a local newspaper editor, I appreciated Donella Meadows's article. She does a great job of rounding up and then refuting the stale critique of organic produce offered by Dennis Avery and his ilk. We need more articles like this in the mainstream press, articles that go one step beyond the "balance" that lets lies like t ...

Is Kyoto Dead?		16 Feb 2000	Letters
Write your own letter. Is Kyoto dead? Grist readers cast their votes after reading a recent debate between Dan Lashof and David Victor. The results were evenly split, right down the middle. Optimism ran higher among younger observers. The "alive" contingent would have won had we included the votes of a high-school biology class in Boston that was asked on a midterm to read the debate and make a case for one side. Thirty-three of the students argued that K ...

Oh, We Got Trouble -- With a Capital T and That Rhymes with P and That Stands for Population		02 Feb 2000	Letters
Write your own letter. Re: Daily Grist, Daily Grist Dear Editor: What a great magazine! Now that I subscribe to the Daily Gist, I clutch my cuppa java as I pass through your cloud of gloom. Better gloom than darkness. However, I'm mystified that we don't hear more about the big P -- population. Why? All these summits, all this talk of global warming, fossil fuels, salmon runs, river a ...

Simplicity Now! Simplicity Now! And other words from readers		13 Dec 1999	Letters
Write your own letter. Re: Such Stuff as Dreams Aren't Made On, Global Citizen, by Donella H. Meadows Dear Editor: I loved Donella Meadows's confession and ode to stuff, junk, and accumulation. Like so many others, I could identify with her remarks. The column made me think of one of Henry David Thoreau's quotes from the "Economy" chapter of Walden, which, of course, I could find on my own cluttered bookshel ...
