Each month, we showcase one of our beloved Friends with Benefits — folks who have donated to support our work. Want to take your relationship with Grist to the next level? Just donate any amount to join the fun.

“I recently supported Grist with a donation because the news and views I get from these thoughtful souls is more worthy than my morning newspaper subscription. I think that with smart choices, consumers need not “suffer” to be green, and our consumer dollar can probably do more to change American politics than our polling vote (but I still vote). Make a difference, support Grist and tune in to the news that matters.”
A toast to you, Dan, for your contribution — and bottoms up!
