I cover the environment for The Washington Independent. My writing has appeared in The Nation, AlterNet, Pop Matters, and Wiretap Magazine. When I'm not reporting for TWI, I write about food, art, music and culture for The Washington Post Express and The Onion A.V. Club. If you have a tip for an environment story or just want to chat, send me an email at ssood@washingtonindependent.com.
