William Craven
At EcoTalk,
Will Craven has
found the perfect synthesis of his passion for written communication,
the medium of radio, and social progress. Getting his start in radio as
a Jazz DJ with an NPR affiliate in North Carolina, Will has since
graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a degree in
English, taught in Japan for two years, attended a Summer program at the
London School of Economics, and worked for the Department of Elections
in San Francisco. As someone who does not come from an environmental
background, Will has felt firsthand how learning to make small changes
to one’s
lifestyle can, little by little, empower a person to become a sensible
steward of the earth.

discredit him and other journalists concerned by global warming.
