Jeff Kart
Jeff Kart is an environmental writer based in Michigan, the Great Lakes state. He spent 14 years at The Bay City Times, the last several as an environmental reporter. Since 2010, he's been running his own consulting business called Enviroprose.
He's into renewable energy, green technology and anything interesting, especially if he can report it first. He loves Twittering, Facebooking and Linkedin-ing (although that last one may not be a word).
Jeff has a B.A. in Journalism from Michigan State University and an M.A. in Environmental Studies from the University of Illinois.
He has numerous environmental fellowships under his belt, and cares a lot about connecting people with science and research and bringing awareness and a little bit of humor to green subjects. He is getting a little sick of the word "green," by the way, and likes to use "planet positive" once in a while instead.
Jeff is married to a marketing genius named Suzanne, has two daughters, a dog and cat. He loves camping as often as possible.
