A mention of Global Warming without mentioning Al Gore seems incomplete! The video of his speech to the DAR now gets a soundtrack which makes its better and more enjoyable (perhaps that’s why they say, music has immense power to transform things!). The visionary former vice president throws a challenge in that speech of his. A challenge to make his country 100% green in the next ten years. He challenges America to fulfill its energy requirements by generating it from renewable energy sources that are clean and sustainable. In sync with his efforts is the We Can Solve It organization which is actively promoting this remixed video and has plans to soon launch an ad campaign in leading dailies like Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Washington Post.

Grace Cathedral- San Francisco landmark building is all set to don a green aspect atop its roof. After all the hue and cry over use of renewable energy sources in today’s times to ensure a safer and cleaner future, now this God’s abode will get its power supply via solar energy. Mayor Gavin Newsom announced the news today morning at the church steps. State- of-the art photovoltaic cells will now be installed on the top of Grace Cathedral and the cost incurred in doing that will be taken care by Pacific Gas and Electrics contribution of $65,000. The Cathedral’s dean Alan Jones expressed his happiness over the new initiative. He said, “We’re grateful to PG&E for its generous contribution to Grace Cathedral’s ongoing environmental efforts. This new solar power system will help us conserve valuable resources, and empower us to be a part of the solution to attack greenhouse gases and global warming.”
