Dear Grist readers,
Would you give $5 to have a platter full of green news, astute advice, and tips for taking action at your fingertips? Today, ONE DAY ONLY, we’re asking for your help.
As the big cheese of Grist, I know there’s plenty of stuff to scare the holes out of your Swiss when it comes to the state of the planet, like a nuclear crisis looming in Japan, fracking’s effects on our water supplies, and the potential castration of the EPA.
But at Grist, we see gouda things happening too. We’ve responded to your cries with stories of hope and eco-victories and ideas for taking action in your own ‘hood — and we think it’s working.
Readers like you are out there reforming Kellogg’s, making over city streets, and reminding President Obama that you care about the Clean Air Act. In fact, our reader survey showed that nearly 90 percent of you have been inspired by Grist to get off your gruyere and make a change in your life. Wowzers.
You people are smart and passionate, that’s for sure. But are you passionate enough to keep our Beacon in the Smog burning bright? Your tax-deductible gift will keep Grist writers like David Roberts, Tom Philpott, and Sarah Goodyear shining a light on the inspiring stories, solutions, and innovators that might just turn this country around.
So if you like Grist as much as we like you, please throw us some cheddar. We promise to put that queso to good use.
Cheezy-ly,
Chip Giller
Founder and Prez
