Al Gore is known to many as the former Vice President of the United States of America as well as the Nobel Peace Prize laureate through his environmental initiatives targeting that of climate change. However, the latter aspect is known to the general public through its gist of things, and yet a more holistic viewpoint of his actions shines equally as bright. As chairman of the Climate Reality Project, the organization emphasizes the need to ?catalyze a global solution to the climate crisis by making urgent action a necessity across every level of society? in quoting their mission statement. Annual reports and blog reports for instance, are also present. Some examples of current action plans are as follows:
More information is available on this website: https://www.climaterealityproject.org/ A more creative approach to tackling the aforementioned is also taken into account on Gore?s part, with his writings. With his most critically acclaimed including An Inconvenient Truth, Earth in the Balance, as well as Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis, he seeks to not only inform but to so in a more vibrant fashion. For the most successful forms of communication are those that engage the audience, and perhaps even give them the spark which propels a new branch stretching towards new innovation. Detailed synopses are available here: https://www.algore.com/library/ An ambassador report by Anna Steltenkamp on the first listed work is also available here: https://tunza.eco-generation.org/ambassadorReportView.jsp?viewID=42069&searchType=title&searchName=al%20gore&pageNumber=1 Personal lifestyle is another factor. Making the decision to gradually shift from an omnivorous diet to cutting down on meat to regularly adapting a vegan diet was observed by the media and acknowledged by Gore himself. As the meat industry is a major contributor to the already accentuated rates of carbon emissions and water depletion, this was taken into account, though not at all mandatory. Even the most trivial of actions bear significance. Once others follow pursuit, its interconnectedness have the power to change the world. Works Cited: Al Gore at Sapphire Now 2010. Digital image.

Manav, same here! The thing is that anyone with the passion can become an environmentalist and a successful one at that.
