Vince Beiser (@VinceBeiser) won in the journalism category in the 2022 NSWA Best of the Northwest Awards for his story on the ongoing efforts to trap carbon in stone as a way to slow climate change. The judges wrote that Beiser used an engaging writing style to explain a difficult subject. Originally published in Wired, the piece takes us onsite to a new direct air-capture plant in Iceland and an upcoming facility in British Columbia.
