Grist dared me to make a change
Green crush: The ballad of the green table
For the series “Grist dared me to make a change,” we challenged author and activist Anna Lappé to write love poems to her favorite green groups in NYC. Read her first, second, third, and fourth here. And support her dare with a gift to Grist!
Mary Cleaver and the entire team at Cleaver Co. bring to life some of the most delicious and sustainable meals I’ve had in the city. They’re also dedicated to supporting many of the food justice organizations in the city, including being generous supporters to our Small Planet Fund event every year.
