If you read or watch Grist, you already know we’re a little bit different.
That’s because we took a big gamble back in 1999. Hey, we said, let’s start an environmental news site. Let’s use that newfangled thing called email to send our news around. And let’s be a nonprofit.
But that crazy experiment worked. Grist has grown from a tiny audience (mostly made up of our worried parents) to a monthly audience of 2 million people around the world. People like you who want to know all there is to know about this here planet of ours -- and who like a little irreverence with their news.
