'Tis the Season: With berries and bread, you can make a delectable summer pudding
Written by Grist Magazine   
08/28/2008
Summer's almost over, but it's not too late to carpe berrium (seize the berry).

Ask Umbra: On hybrid myths
Written by Grist Magazine   
08/27/2008
Dear Umbra, Could you help me clear up a rumor about cars?

Ask Umbra: On buying big cars
Written by Grist Magazine   
08/25/2008
Dear Umbra, I'm in need of a new car. I'd love to get a Prius, but I often need more passenger seats than the Prius has. What is the most environmentally friendly and responsible choice for a driver who needs a larger car? It seems like the bigger hybrids (i.e., the Toyota Highlander) are expensive and don't get very impressive gas mileage compared to the Prius. Are there any industry plans to make SUVs that get more miles per gallon? What do I do in the meantime? Where is the minivan hybrid...

Written by Grist Magazine   
08/22/2008
As the Democrats gear up for their convention next week, Cynthia McKinney wants you to know that they're not the most progressive game in town. The Green Party presidential candidate says her party is the one that's truly dedicated to social justice and ecological wisdom.

Ask Umbra: On Method cleansers
Written by Grist Magazine   
08/20/2008
Dear Umbra, I've noticed lately that Method cleaning products are now being sold in a number of different retail outlets, whereas before they were only sold in Target. This shouldn't seem too weird in our every-store-sells-the-same-thing world, but seeing these products on the shelves in Whole Foods got me wondering more about them. You see, I went looking for some trusty Bon Ami cleaner the other day and found it gone from the shelves and many Method products in its place. The Method stuff...
