Great Environmental Blogs

grist.org

Grist.org is a great environmental blog that covers a variety of topics, from kids' school lunches, to sustainable fashion, to great new apps, to climate change policy. This blog does a great job of engaging its readers and posts articles that can introduce you to a topic you might not know about, as well as delve deeper if you want to learn more. The site is well-organized and colorful, so it won't feel like a chore to read it. I recommend this blog because it is great for the person who wants to live a greener life and be engaged in environmental issues.


celsias.com

As the headline says, this blog is about practical ways to combat climate change. It also has a huge archive of articles on the topics of energy, the environment,business and technology, and health. This is a great blog to follow because whatever you're curious about or need more information on, celsias.com has an article (or 500) explaining the topic. 


triplepundit.com

triplepundit.com is a blog about people,planet, and profit. They seem to have a goal of businesses working together with scientists to mitigate impact on the environment. They also work on making green energy affordable and competitive. It is a blog that focuses on practical, real-world applications of science to help the environment and stop climate change.


theguardian.com/environment/blog

The guardian environmental blog covers environmental news, everything from threatened species, public health, pollution, farming, and climate change. The Guardian is a British Newspaper so many of their articles are concerning environmental issues in the UK and Australia. I think it is important to read blogs about the environment outside of your country because it gives you another perspective on the issues and keeps you better informed.


Thehill.com

The Hill blog is about anything and everything politics and washington. It has news and videos about energy and environmental policy and regulation. The website breaks down their content into categories like the Senate, House, Administration, Business, and Opinion. It focuses on the politics and lawmaking of climate change policy, energy security, and regulation of carbon. This is a great blog not just for politics, but for anyone wanting to know about how our government is handling (or not handling) climate change.
