Jam Session Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard chats about the band's environmental ethos	Sarah van Schagen	21 Jul 2006	Main Dish
Pearl Jam. Photo: Danny Clinch. Stone Gossard, hard-rock guitarist and founding member of Pearl Jam, has a soft spot for the environment. Maybe it's the water-meets-mountains scenery surrounding his Pacific Northwest home. Or that name of his. But the guy knows green. He's even got his own pimped-out 1982 Mercedes Benz, which runs on used vegetable oil and "smells a l ...

Too graphic for TV	Chris Schults	25 Jun 2006	Gristmill
From peta2.com, PETA's youth-oriented site, we learn of a new music video by Rise Against intended to '[show] everyone what goes on in the world and what people are doing to this planet and to animals.' According to band member Tim McIlrath: It is the most important video Rise Against has ever made. This video transcends our band and our music and talks about a much bigger picture, a picture that affects each of us. I hope people check this video out and then sha ...

A Long, Strange Triperoo: The backstage pass to my Bonnaroo story Or, how I survived my first camping trip	Sarah van Schagen	23 Jun 2006	Gristmill
Find out more about how Bonnaroo is going green.It was early afternoon on a Friday when I got the call. I had been wrangling commas and scanning The Superficial the news all morning when Grist kahuna maxima Chip Giller asked me if I would go to the Bonnaroo Arts & Music Festival in Tennessee to cover its efforts to eco-ize. This was exactly the kind of break I'd been waiting for. Giller wanted me -- me! -- to travel across the country and file a real story. ...

Bonnaroo: Last words	Sarah van Schagen	18 Jun 2006	Gristmill
Well, folks, my time here at Bonnaroo is coming to a close. Today, I got the chance to chat with head trash-picker-upper Anna of Clean Vibes, Atlanta-based band the Codetalkers, and a number of eco-booth staffers and everyman 'Roo goers. I also listened in as Bonnie Raitt chatted with Marc Ross of Rock the Earth about her work on social issues. She truly believes in using her music to inspire change -- and hopefully her hour-long interview on the Solar Stage will i ...

Bonnaroo: Lewis Black & Lyrics Born	Sarah van Schagen	17 Jun 2006	Gristmill
More scoop from 'Roo: Funny man Lewis Black, laughin' it up at 'Roo's comedy tent, says he's on tour so much that he isn't in one place long enough to be harming any environment. Ha ha. But seriously, he's looking into biodiesel for his tour bus. My interview with Lyrics Born went very well. Turns out he's very much into raising awareness about eco-issues. And he's psyched about 'Roo's eco-efforts because, he says, he knows how trashed a festival can get.

Bonnaroo: A breezy dispatch	Sarah van Schagen	16 Jun 2006	Gristmill
Another dispatch from Bonnaroo: I've got scoop that Jon Gutwillig of The Disco Biscuits is a big supporter of wind power. He pays his energy company a few extra dollars per month for wind power because he knows it's a better deal in the long run, considering the true cost of our oil economy.

'Roo update I put up my tent!	Sarah van Schagen	16 Jun 2006	Gristmill
So I made it to 'Roo, as all the cool kidz call it. I even set up my tent, in the dark, all by myself. Mmm ... Nothing like fair-trade coffee and sunlight to show you how dirty you really are. Yay for showers in my camp area. Boo for not finding them 'til I was dressed and sunscreened! On tap today: interviews with Lyrics Born and a 'Roo green guy. Plus my first press conference!

Blogging from Bonnaroo	Sarah van Schagen	15 Jun 2006	Gristmill
By the time you read this, I'll be at a comfortable cruising altitude -- and spewing CO2 into the atmosphere at an alarming rate. (Calm down ... I've offset the flight. Thanks, Native Energy!) I'm on my way to the Bonnaroo music festival in Manchester, Tenn., and not for the reasons you think. The four-day, multi-stage festival is cleaning up its act -- like a number of music festivals this year -- and making a real effort to be as green as possible ... no, not tha ...

Media Shower: A weekly roundup	Chris Schults	17 Mar 2006	Gristmill
Wow, I guess I underestimated my ability to influence coverage here at Grist. If you haven't noticed, environmental media has been getting a lot of play around here lately. So, this week I'm simply going to provide a roundup of green-media topics appearing on Grist (and elsewhere): More Environmental Film Last week I mentioned there'd be more on environmental film festivals. I didn't lie. If you missed it, check out Paul Henderson's report, Feelin' Movie, which discu ...

Pop songs about global warming	David Roberts	16 Mar 2006	Gristmill
A while back, Jamais noted "Manhattan in January" (MP3), a cheeky song about global warming by Jill Sobule, written in response to Al Gore's now-famed presentation on the subject. Jamais asked, "Is this the first pop song about global warming?" Ever since then it's been nagging me, and I finally remembered why. I give you "Sleeping In," by the Postal Service -- in particular I draw your attention to the second verse: Last week I had ...

Got PIELC? In which I stumble upon one of the most happenin' environmental conferences in the country	Corey McKrill	06 Mar 2006	Gristmill
Last weekend I abandoned my cot in the supply closet at the Grist office to get out of Seattle for a spell and see the world. Specifically, I went to help celebrate a friend's birthday down in Eugene, Oregon, and go to a Clumsy Lovers show in Corvallis. Sadly, the band's bass player had strep, but I did discover that Corvallis' Sunnyside Up bakery makes a tasty and cleverly-named treat called the 'you're doin' a heckuva job brownie (with raspberries).' Hopefully a por ...

Keepin' It Wheel Kipchoge Spencer of Xtracycle and Worldbike answers readers' questions		13 Jan 2006	InterActivist
Kipchoge Spencer, president of Xtracycle. As a bicycle commuter, how do you balance the joy and euphoria of an excellent ride with the inevitable rage from being abused by idiot drivers? -- Todd Holland, Amherst, Mass. First of all, I'm lucky to have an off-road commute that doesn't involve direct contact with motor-vehicle operators. Second, there aren't nearly enough mean idiot drivers to eve ...

For a Song This eco-troubadour's New Year's resolution is to make things write	Hank Stewart	03 Jan 2006	Soapbox
One of my New Year's resolutions is to write a song. Unfortunately, this is the third January that particular resolution has been on my list. Indeed, I've been wallowing in lyrical ineptitude for the past two years. The good news is, I have reason to believe that may change. Can he cut the chord? Photo: iStockphoto. Part of the problem, I'm convinced, is that prior to now, I hadn't come up ...

Cloud Cult A super-enviro band	Sarah K. Burkhalter	29 Nov 2005	Gristmill
My friend Kevin loves the band Cloud Cult, and so, apparently, does everyone else. I haven't heard their music, because ... no, I have no good excuse. But I think they're my new favorite band. From their site: All profits, after expenses, of Cloud Cult CD sales and performances are donated to environmental charity work. Instead of creating new plastic, Cloud Cult's CD is packaged in cleaned reused jewel cases (the band painstakingly hand cleans thousands of ca ...

G8 expectations Global concerts to focus on G8, but not climate change	Sarah van Schagen	01 Jul 2005	Gristmill
With the G8 Summit just days away, pop stars the world over are preparing for marathon concerts tomorrow in each of the eight wealthiest nations in the world.

Facing the Music	Donella H. Meadows	18 Oct 1999	Global Citizen
Of all the tragic characters in Greek myths, the one who gives me the most shivers is Cassandra. The god Apollo gave her a wonderful gift -- the ability to foretell the future -- then followed it up with a terrible curse -- no one would ever believe her. I can just imagine Cassandra, standing there inside the walls of Troy, yelling, "No, no, whatever you do, don't haul that big wooden horse in here!" Wanna buy it? Now a friend of mine ...
