Apple board member, Oscars

Former vice president and Apple board member Al Gore last night spoke at the Oscars after the film 'An Inconvenient Truth' -- which features Gore's take on the dangers of global warming -- won two awards for best documentary and best song. While Gore himself did not actually take home the oscars, he used his opportunity on stage to talk about global warming. "My fellow Americans, people all over the world: we need to solve the climate crisis," Gore said as he addressed the audience of the Oscars. "It's not a political issue, it's a moral issue. We have everything we need to get started with the possible will to act. That's a renewable resource. Let's renew it."

Gore also announced that this year was the greenest Academy Award ceremonies in history, with Oscar ballots made from partially recycled paper and organic produce served at the Governor's Ball. Rides for presenters and stars were provided in hybrid vehicles, and meals for hundreds of crew as well as cast members were served on reusable plates and biodegradable dishware, according to CBS.
