Emily McGlynn '09
Last spring and summer, I was an intern at Energy Vision (EV), a national nonprofit organization that researches, analyzes and promotes pathways to pollution-free renewable energy sources, especially focusing on phasing out the use of petroleum in transportation. I met Joanna Underwood, the chair, president and founder of this organization and an alumna of Bryn Mawr College, in the spring of 2006 at a talk she gave about EV’s sustainable transportation initiatives. I was really inspired by her presentation, which outlined the strategy for converting the nation’s garbage trucks to run on natural gas, thereby paving the way to a completely sustainable, hydrogen-fueled transportation sector.
