VANITY FAIR’S FIRST-EVER “GREEN ISSUE”

Vanity Fair presents its first “Green Issue,” beginning an “increased commitment to reporting on the threat to our precious environment,” says editor Graydon Carter. The May cover features a quartet of eco–power players, capturing Hollywood glamour and activist passion: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Al Gore, Julia Roberts, and George Clooney, photographed by Annie Leibovitz. Articles inside address the pressing environmental issues of the day: Mark Hertsgaard reports on the reality of global warming; Michael Shnayerson writes on the Appalachian mountaintop-mining crisis; and a Green Guide offers up 50 simple things you can do in your daily life to help save the planet.

The May Green Issue of Vanity Fair hits newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on April 5 and nationally April 11.

Al Gore became the unlikely “It boy” of this year’s Sundance Film Festival, thanks to Davis Guggenheim’s documentary An Inconvenient Truth, which follows the former vice president on his relentless worldwide quest to expose the grave truth about climate change. But the fight against global warming is nothing new for Gore, who has made the environment a key part of his life for more than 25 years. Gore faced ridicule in the 2000 presidential campaign for pushing the idea of hybrid cars, and forged ahead with the Kyoto Protocol talks even after aides warned it was an unpopular move. Now, the Bush administration’s negligence toward our planet is facing one consequence it didn’t foresee: the unleashing of Gore’s anger, passion, wisdom, and intellect, untethered by advisers. Inside the issue, Gore’s essay, “The Moment of Truth,” explores the danger of the climate crisis, as well as the unprecedented opportunities it presents. Gore asks, “So why is it that our leaders seem not to hear such clarion warnings? Are they resisting the truth because they know that the moment they acknowledge it they will face a moral imperative to act? Is it simply more convenient to ignore the warnings?” Furthermore, he writes, “Where there is a blinding lack of situational awareness, the people perish.”
