Heroes for a Better World

Albert Gore, Jr.
(1948-)

45th Vice President of the United States
2007 Nobel Peace Prize Winner

birthdate: March 31
birthplace:
Washington, DC

In one of the most controversial and bitterly contested elections in United States history, Vice President Al Gore received the most votes for President in 2000, but was denied the Presidency in large part after a partisan 5-4 United States Supreme Court decision that halted the recount of votes in Florida. We can only guess at how different the world would be today had Al Gore become President in 2001, but one thing is certain, he has been and continues to be a voice of hope for a more peaceful, just and sustainable world.

While a Senator he introduced legislation to support the creation of the Internet and was a strong advocate of environmental issues, writing a best-selling book on environmental conservation called, Earth in the Balance. His commitment to environmental protection continued as Vice President from 1993-2001, and continues to this day. In 2006 Al Gore narrated the global warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, and is the author of the 2006 book of the same title. Now that he is no longer in politics, Al Gore has become an outspoken critic of injustices in the government. As President of Current, a TV channel he co-founded, he helps give youth a voice in the decisions that effect their lives. In 2007, Al Gore received an Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth and the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to bring this important issue to the public's attention.
