Alan Weiss Joins Advisory Board of Web of Life Foundation

I’ve just been asked to join the Advisory Board of the Web of Life Foundation (WOLFoundation: www.wolfoundation.org), and I’ve accepted. The purpose of the organization is below, as are my fellow board members:

WOLFoundation is a non-profit organization aimed at encouraging fresh thinking and clear, accessible, enjoyable writing in the field of conservation and the environment.

We are looking for fresh ideas presented in an accessible, non-technical way. We welcome ideas that take any view on environmental issues—be they for or against any particular debate or point of view. Our requirements are simple:

• we encourage original thinking and discourage the re-hashing of tired ideas

• we look for clear, simple, non-technical writing in the English language

• we welcome any form of writing—essays, fiction short stories or any other form of

prose
