In their environment section you’ll find practical information, comparative charts and current affairs to help you make decisions about the products you consume. You’ll find out about environmental things you’d never even imagined. Available in Spanish. consumer.es/medio-ambiente |

· Grist - Check out the Climate Defenders Guide with ideas on how to talk to a climate skeptic. “Grist is the Colbert Report of climate change, the Daily Show of deforestation, the Oprah of oil dependency — except with real reporting and analytical journalism… The e-zine delivers news and news-you-can-use on pivotal topics — with punny, sometimes corny headlines.” (Time Magazine)
