Ecorazzi photographer was in attendance last week (ironically sans camera) when Gore made an interesting announcement. Here s how Melissa tells it
Former presidential candidate Al Gore sat down with journalist Charlie Rose among a packed house at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan. Promoting his new bestseller, Assault on Reason Gore details the strategic mistake of the US Iraq invasion as well as sounding off on global warming dangers.
And, it s officially unofficial. The former VP said he might run again.
Now here s my take on it all.
I m getting a little Gore d out. I liked it when he stepped up and brought America to a national awareness of environmental issues. I don t think we d be where we are today without it.
But for the most part, he was pushing his environmental agenda. Now he s got his new book out, and is going on show after show playing the blame game. (I thought the second bit on Letterman the other night was a little over the top: watch part .
) I don t see the point. It turned me off, and I m sure I m not the only one.
I don t like to talk about politicians on Ecorazzi in a partisan manner.
In fact, we only cover a few politicians who have basically reached celebrity status. And though Al Gore is extensively covered on the site, I would like to think that it is due to the fact that he is pushing the green envelope. I feel like his next wave of speeches is going to get a lot more political, however, and I hope that the green message doesn t get hurt in the process.
I do have to say, however, that I don t see the signs that Al will run. And I guess I kind of wish everyone would move on with their lives.
If you watch the , however, you will see that Al keeps up with his gossip.
(Though that Joey Buttafuoco reference is a little dated.) Umm and is he wearing cowboy boots?

While the title may leave a lot to be desired, it certainly gets to the point pretty quickly.
In Cameron s own words,
The book will offer over 700 solutions to everyday life, from travel to beauty products, to household and sporting products – every aspect of your life that you can go to and say, how I can do this better?
It tells you, if you’re consuming the way that you’re consuming currently, what it costs the planet. And then, if you consume in this more ecologically-friendly way, what you save the planet.
And then, what you can do to follow through with that.
It’s as simple as changing one light bulb. If everybody in America just changed one lightbulb in their homes, it’s equivalent to taking out a whole fleet of cars from the street for four months – something as crazy like that
Cameron admits that she s not so hot with the numbers.
In addition to her suggestions, the book will also feature tips from Ellen DeGeneres, Robert Redford, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Aniston, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Martha Stewart, Tyra Banks, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Tiki Barber, Owen Wilson, and Justin Timberlake.

I accidentally found the real deal. Whoa. Is it even legal to look at a 17 year old like that?
Sorry, I digress ) Today, however, it is the book itself that we are interested in.
The seventh and final in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a whopper with 784 pages. This time, however, the US publisher Scholastic has made arrangements for this book to go green.
They are working with the to print on paper that has a minimum of 30% post-consumer waste content. The deluxe edition of the book is even better - 100% post-consumer! The past several books in the series have followed these standards in Canada and Europe, and Greenpeace is happy to see Scholastic finally on board (they were ), as are we.
I wonder if there are any horses in the Deathly Hallows?
