Former Metcalf Fellow Jeff Kart

2007 Metcalf Fellow Jeff Kart recently spent a week in Copenhagen, Denmark, as part of a Michigan delegation sent there to explore green policy and green technology. He was one of seven sent by the governor and the only reporter on the trip. He blogged about it online.

Jeff also has been branching out to the freelance world, writing most recently for Treehugger and Planet Green, both arms of the Discovery network. His day job is still the same: environmental reporter at The Bay City Times in Bay City, Michigan.
