During his extensive career at various broadcast radio networks , Linden used his influence to steer stations toward participation in community service , particularly with regard to advancing animal and environmental causes . Linden 's community advocacy efforts often caused personal and professional conflict . While at JAZZY 103 in Raleigh-Durham/Chapel Hill , NC , Linden campaigned in opposition to a creation of a nuclear waste dump . While working at a radio station in Seattle , Linden used his position as Program Director to collect towels for oil-soaked otters in the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska but was unsuccessful in advising management to reject advertising for the fur industry . While working as Program Director for JAZZY 100 in Washington , D.C. , Linden developed an initiative in Metro D.C. aimed at fostering environmental cooperation between public and private sectors , but was unsuccessful in persuading the station 's ownership to refuse profiting from advertising revenue generated by the fur industry . Despite the initial setback , Linden eventually convinced the owners of Washington , D.C. 's Jazzy 100 to donate the money generated by advertising fur to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ( PETA ) and Seattle 's Progressive Animal Welfare Society ( PAWS )
