About: Jeff Kart

Environmental Journalist
Jeff is an environmental journalist working in Michigan, the Great Lakes state.
He covers the state’s largest watershed for The Bay City Times, a mid-sized daily with a long commitment to environmental news. He also writes a blog called Green Scene and contributes to an electronic newsletter called Saginaw Bay Watershed Watch.
He loves camping, the outdoors, networking, social media and RSS feeds. He carries a stack of business cards and has a busy in-box.
He and his wife (who works for a big fancy trade organization for continuing education providers) have two lovely daughters — one who plans to be a scientist and another who plans to be a princess. There’s also a dog and cat.
Jeff has a journalism degree from Michigan State University and is working on a master’s in environmental science from the University of Illinois.
He’s constantly in search of knowledge, good new music and often writes story and blog ideas on cocktail napkins.
He plans to write here about alternative energy research and development in the Great Lakes region, and beyond. He welcomes e-mails, connections through Linkedin or a tweet via Twitter.
