three degrees to al gore

I discovered this evening that there is only three degrees of separation from myself and former US Vice President and now environment crusader Al Gore... and so I thought - as if it was likely that we might now bump into each other - that I really should make a greater effort to be environmentally aware.

So how do I now discover that Al Gore is orbiting my o so glamorous social circle?

Well - my friend Karen sort of knows a guy who is an environmental leader personally taught by the big man himself ... ok ok - it's a tenuous link - but it did motivate me to take the time to refresh some of my environmental knowledge here and here.
