Albert Arnold "Al" Gore, Jr. was born on March 31, 1948. He was Vice President of The United States under President Bill Clinton.
"When we consider a subject as the environment, we often focus on its most visible aspects - the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we put on the table. Those things are critically important. But to me the environment is also about our sense of community - the obligation we have to each other, and to future generations, to safeguard God´s earth.
Those values I learned firsthand, as a young boy on my family´s farm in Tenessee. We didn´t call it environmentalism back then; it was simple common sense. My earliest environmental lessons came from our efforts to prevent soil erosion or our family table discussions about Rachel Carson´s classic "Silent Spring."
