Climate Corps

Can a handful of intrepid business school students create lasting solutions to climate change? The Environmental Defense Fund thinks so. That’s why they’ve set up an innovative program called Climate Corps. Each year one hundred of the country’s brightest MBA students are tapped to spend their summer embedded with major corporations, analyzing energy waste and efficiency – and then they propose solutions that often have a major impact on both the planet and the bottom-line costs. Superstar Jessica Alba, an entrepreneur herself, meets three members of Climate Corps and is astonished by the results.
