My latest read – Our Choice
Al Gore’s latest book Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis should be considered by anyone interested in learning how the world can conserve resources with next generation technologies to reduce the globe’s carbon footprint.
Its easy to think this book is a political sequel to An Inconvenient Truth. That would be a mistake. [...]
