Top 10 Environmental News Sources

Even when you work at it, staying informed can be a chore. To make things easier, I have pulled together my choices for the best online sources for environmental news. All of the resources listed here are either free, or provide a significant amount of free information. There are other excellent resources I could have included, and some I didn’t list because they charge for content, but reading a few of these sites regularly will keep you up to date.

1. Grist Magazine

Billing itself as a “beacon in the smog,” Grist combines humor and solid journalism to deliver some of the hippest and most entertaining environmental news coverage on the Web. Saving the planet is serious business, but it doesn’t have to be dull. As the magazine says on its website, “Grist: it's gloom and doom with a sense of humor. So laugh now – or the planet gets it.”
