Mission Statement
Let's face it: reading environmental journalism too often feels like eating your vegetables. Boiled. With no butter. But at Grist, we believe that news about green issues and sustainable living doesn't have to be predictable, demoralizing, or dull. We butter the vegetables! And add salt! And strain metaphors! We exist to tell the untold stories, spotlight trends before they become trendy, and engage the apathetic. We're fiercely independent in our coverage; we throw brickbats when they're needed and bestow kudos when they're warranted. And while we take our work seriously, we don't take ourselves seriously, because of the many things this planet is running out of, sanctimonious tree-huggers ain't one of them. Grist: it's gloom and doom with a sense of humor. So laugh now -- or the planet gets it.

How Green is Your Candidate?

Forget boxers or briefs. You want to know about candidates' stances on energy and the environment, right? Well, you've come to the right place. Grist is bringing you interviews with the presidential contenders. We've talked with all of the Democrats and will soon start publishing interviews with the Republicans.

We've also compiled fact sheets on the candidates, with their current platforms, voting records, video, audio, and more. We'll update these pages as the campaigns unfold.

At this link (www.grist.org/pres08) you'll find a quick-and-dirty rundown on each candidate, with links to each interview and fact sheet, plus widgets and candidate buttons that can be added to your website or blog.
