SKB on NPR re: PVC Everything you wanted to know about toxic shower curtains, in my dulcet tones	Sarah K. Burkhalter	08 Jul 2008	Gristmill
Here I am again on the Environment Report, this time chatting about toxic shower curtains. Everything you ever wanted to know on the subject, complete with Psycho shower-scene screeching, allusions to shower-curtain licking, and quips about exhibitionism.

Apologies and previews Grist is cooking up a new site; what do you want to see in it?	David Roberts	18 May 2008	Gristmill
I have exciting matters to discuss, but first, two apologies. First apology Lately, my blogging has been cursory, rushed, incomplete, and a little sucky. I haven't been responding to emails, writing the longer pieces I've promised various people, or otherwise keeping up with my professional obligations. "What's new?" you ask. What's new is that I have a really good excuse. More on that in a moment. Second apology We are well aware -- I'd even go so far ...

Free stuff alert: Clean green without spending any green Add Grist's green living widget and win free green living starter kits from Seventh Generation	Ashley Braun	13 May 2008	Gristmill
So another Earth Day has come and gone, along with many good 'n' green intentions made around the globe. Haven't figured out a way to turn dirty laundry and that ring around the tub into a way to save the planet yet? Don't worry; Grist is here to help -- namely, by giving you the chance to win free green cleaning products from our friends at Seventh Generation.

SKB and BPA on NPR Everything you wanted to know about bisphenol A, in my dulcet tones	Sarah K. Burkhalter	08 May 2008	Gristmill
I was on NPR talking about bisphenol A (that nasty chemical all up in our plastics). Audio is here. I expect these questions will be forthcoming: Do you always sound a bit froggy? No, I was a wee bit sick. Do you always make up rhymes on the spot? Yes. Yes, I do.

Remains of the Today Grist's Today show appearance falls through, fans mourn	Grist	29 Jan 2008	Gristmill
To all our devoted fans who sat in front of the TV this morning waiting for a Grist-tacular appearance on NBC's Today show, we apologize. Due to Today's relatively tight schedule and an earlier interview that ran overtime, Grist's Katharine Wroth was pulled from the show before she made it on stage. Alas, the world is a much less-informed place than it could have been.As a consolation, you can read some of the tips Katharine would have offered, now conveniently expunged of a ...

Bloggy backslapping	David Roberts	30 Aug 2007	Gristmill

If a website pats itself on the back in the forest and there's nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound? Grist in NYT	Kate Sheppard	04 Jul 2007	Gristmill
How did we neglect to shamelessly self-promote mention that Grist honcho Chuck Gilla got some props in Sunday's New York Times?

Bonnaroo part deux I'm baaaack ...	Sarah van Schagen	14 Jun 2007	Gristmill
I'm writing this post while sitting at the Grist booth at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn. If you're here, come say hi -- and explain why you're reading Gristmill instead of listening to some of the amazing music out here. It seems like it was just a year ago that I was out here reporting on all the ways Bonnaroo is making efforts to go green. And wondering how I would survive four nights in a tent ... let alone set it up. I guess I just c ...

Grist reader party in Washington, D.C. -- June 13 Be there!	David Roberts	07 Jun 2007	Gristmill
I'm bumping this back up to the top. Party's next Wed.! Hey all you wonky Washington, D.C., nerdlings: We're coming to your town! That's right, it's time to party with Grist -- and your fellow Grist readers. After the way Grist rocked San Francisco, I sure hope D.C. brings its A-game. Or does the vaunted Northeast Establishment want to get schooled by the West Coast? I didn't think so. For all the details about the party (Wed. June 13, 6pm - 9pm, The Reef) an ...

Paul Hawken and Blessed Unrest What would you like to ask him?	David Roberts	15 May 2007	Gristmill
Tomorrow, I'm sitting down for a chat with Paul Hawken, author, entrepreneur, and environmental legend. We'll be discussing, among other things, his new book Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming. (If you're in Seattle tomorrow, you can see Hawken at a Grist-sponsored event at Town Hall.) If you've got questions you'd like me to ask Hawken, let me know in comments. In the meantime, here's the introductio ...

Jerry Falwell dead We shed a tear	David Roberts	15 May 2007	Gristmill
Fundamentalist Christian minister Jerry Falwell is dead at 73. It's probably churlish to use the occasion of someone's death to point out that said person was a paranoid, avaricious, hate-spewing enabler of America's basest lizard-brain impulses, so I won't go there. I will, however, note that one of the proudest moments of my young career was being cited by name in the course of a rambling, delusional Falwell sermon on global warming, which apparently is 'Satan's Att ...

My continuing quest for total domination of obscure niche media	David Roberts	09 May 2007	Gristmill
I forgot to mention that I was on EarthBeat radio the other day, which according to John Passacantando "does for environmental coverage on the airwaves what Grist Magazine does for the environment in the cyber world." And I think he means that's a good thing! Anyway, you can go here to download the show. I start jibber-jabbering about global warming and risk perception around minute 38.

The Roscoe Culpepper Town Holler Coot	David Roberts	09 May 2007	Gristmill
I am wholly uninterested in the fact that Paul Watson thinks human beings are the "AIDS of the earth" and that the only solution is "a complete transformation of all human realities." What I do find fascinating is that this essay bashing Watson is written by 'The Boone Pickens Free Market Fellow.' The Boone Pickens Free Market Fellow! Like a traveling banjo player at a hootenanny or something. How do I get a title like that? Henceforth, I demand ...

Pollan continues to fail to ever write anything less than awesome The new NYT piece does not disappoint	David Roberts	27 Apr 2007	Gristmill
I can't believe no Gristian has yet commented on the latest Michael Pollan piece in the NYT. What, is saying 'Pollan has a new piece and it's awesome' getting tedious? This one focuses on the farm bill and how it makes us fat: A public-health researcher from Mars might legitimately wonder why a nation faced with what its surgeon general has called 'an epidemic' of obesity would at the same time be in the business of subsidizing the production of high-fructose corn ...

TP	David Roberts	23 Apr 2007	Gristmill
This evening, I was on Fox's Hannity & Colmes discussing ... toilet paper. Yes, really. I'm sure my stiff, awkward performance will show up on YouTube sooner or later, so that's something to ... hm, 'look forward to' doesn't seem appropriate. Expect, then.

Media Shower: Green is the new black	Chris Schults	07 Apr 2006	Gristmill
Taking a cue from Alex over at WorldChanging, I'd like to point out all the print pubs covering enviro issues. First, of course, is the May issue of Vanity Fair. You'd have to be living under a rock not to know that our very own Chip Giller appears in the special green edition. In addition to naked photos of Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley and Keri Russell, readers will find a piece by Grist contributor Mark Hertsgaard titled 'While Washington Slept.' This artic ...

Vanity Fair green issue We're in it!	David Roberts	06 Apr 2006	Gristmill
(photo credit: Mark Seliger, exclusively for Vanity Fair.) I have here in my hot little hands the latest issue of Vanity Fair, which, though alleged not to hit newsstands until April 11, mysteriously arrived at the Fremont PCC several days early. It's the "green" issue, with great feature pieces from Al Gore and Mark Hertsgaard, and a 20-or-so-page photo spread with environmental notables of various sorts -- including the "E-gitators," pictured ab ...
