This unusual and effective approach has earned Grist recognition from media outlets such as Time, The New York Times, NPR, and The Today Show, as well as two coveted Webby awards. Grist's in-depth reporting and feisty opinions connects the environment to issues that are part of our national discourse, and is mobilizing a new generation to think and act creatively regarding green problems and solutions. Grist.org - a beacon in the smog.
