Environmental Defense Fund Climate Corps Works With GM -- Jon Beck -- Faces of GM
Jon Beck is a graduate student from Portland, Ore., who is working this summer at General Motors as part of the Environmental Defense Fund's Climate Corps program. GM is one of the more than 100 organizations participating in the program that allows specially trained graduate students to analyze the companies' energy management practices. While Beck and his teammates will leave GM with suggested improvements, he admits he's leaving the project with a new appreciation of what GM is doing today.
