Will Todman

Will is a student from England who is currently living in Beirut as part of his Arabic and Persian degree. Traveling throughout the Middle East has become a mild obsession, and almost all the money he earns pulling pints at his local bar is spent on exploring the incredible region. Will’s first interest in the Middle East came from reading about its politics in the news, and he now writes comment pieces regularly for his university’s newspaper, The Oxford Student. But since moving to Lebanon, and experiencing the smog of Beirut and the apparent lack of green initiatives in terms of transport and recycling especially, he has become interested in the work of green groups in the country and their innovative ideas to spread a greater understanding for the need to protect the environment.
