Grist for the mill: Another green web site
We stumbled across another cool green web site, called www.grist.org. Based in Seattle, Grist is a clean site, displaying a lot of content without looking too busy. Grist bills itself as having “the most recognizable voice in environmental journalism: funny, opinionated and intelligent.”
Ah, Seattle. Space Needles and web sites.
The site was recently ranked as one of the best green websites by Time magazine and the London Guardian. Much of the content on the site seems to come from a network of bloggers and other correspondents.
We noticed that one recently posted item was “Alabama city destroying ancient Indian Mound for Sam’s Club,” by Sue Sturgis, the editorial director of Facing South, the online magazine of the Institute for Southern Studies in Durham, N.C. The post deals with the controversy in Oxford, Ala., regarding the use of what many believe to be an Indian mound as a source of fill dirt at the site of a Sam’s Club.
