Gore Lauds Chicago
Chicagoans like to think of their city as green; now, former Vice President Al Gore agrees.
Only a week after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for his crusade against global warming, Gore gave the windy city a round of applause.
“The rest of our country looks to Chicago,” he told about 2,000 people gathered at the Hyatt Regency Chicago hotel Wednesday. “If you start banging the drums, the rest of the country and world will respond.”
The Chicago Tribune covered more of Gore’s speech.
