Al Gore Visits Nashville, Discusses Global Warming Dangers"
"Gore Visits Nashville, Discusses Global Warming Dangers"
For the last several months, Al Gore has been touring the country, promoting his documentary called ''An Inconvenient Truth''. This week, people from all around the world are in Nashville learning from Gore how to make the world a better place.
Gore has made it his personal mission to spread his views on the dangers of global warming. His documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth”, was a springboard, for a new grass roots effort to teach others how to spread the message in their own way, in their hometowns.
For the last several months, Gore has been personally teaching volunteers from around the world how to lecture on this subject,...
and even providing teaching materials to assist them along the way.
Jenny Clad is the Director of The Climate Project and said the people who are being trained, are not getting paid, and they come from literally every walk of life.
“Every state in the United States is represented, and we do have a smattering of international guests. We have a number of Canadians, Spain, Belgium, and Mexico,” said Clad.
They have also done two training sessions in Australia, and more international sessions.
Marybeth Horiai is a mom from Las Vegas who is a true believer. She drives a grease car, and buys environmentallyfriendly light bulbs. She said the light' went on for her after spending a few years living in Japan.
She said, “We lived in Japan for about ten years and experienced their recycling, and we moved back to Las Vegas and it was so different. They had mass transportation, so I got the bug, went back to school, and started studying about the environment.”
The people who attended the session, paid for their own expenses to Nashville, and will not be paid for any of the speeches they'll give when they get back home. They believe so strongly in the dangers of global warming, that it is their civic duty to help spread the word.
Michael Lin also took part in The Climate Project. He said, “I wasn't really sure when I showed up if I would have to give the speech 'exactly like Al Gore, but what I found out is, ‘we all have our own unique takes on what global warming means, and different ways to see the climate crisis.’”
College professors, moms from Las Vegas and people from every walk of life in Nashville were in Nashville Friday, hoping to change the world of tomorrow.
