Grist is a non-profit online publication that covers climate and sustainability. They’re looking for pitches about the future of transportation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
“Transportation is the largest source of climate pollution in the United States, accounting for roughly one-third of all emissions. America’s 284 million gas-powered vehicles consume more than 376 million gallons of gasoline each day, while airplanes burn nearly 71 million gallons daily. In short: The world cannot address the climate crisis without radically transforming how we move around.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Grist is developing a solutions-focused package exploring how the United States can break its reliance on fossil-fuel-powered transportation — and what a better system might look like.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
We’re looking for place-based stories that examine real-world progress, reveal barriers to change, and provide lessons other communities can use. We welcome ideas of all formats — features, reported essays, multimedia, etc — and lengths. And we are equally interested in stories from and for rural and suburban communities, not just urban ones.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n
