...host to giant oil multinationals that are conducting oil-exploration activities. In the process of searching for oil, large quantities of gas have been flared throughout my over 30 years of existence and are still being flared. I was never bothered by the gas flares until I read Al Gore's Earth in the Balance, from which I learned they are a great contributor to global warming. I became enlightened but at the same time frightened by the damage done to my immediate environment and the greater world. As an African, my interest in the environment was further aroused when...

...Both candidates are finding their voice now in opposition to the status quo," said Donna Brazile, who ran Al Gore's 2000 campaign and has not endorsed a candidate this cycle. "They are defining Clinton as 'more of the same.' There's still time to catch up with Clinton, but they must do so without trying to cancel each other out. In that race, Clinton scores a knockout."

...come from the Niger Delta, where multinational companies are exploring for oil, a process that involves the flaring of large quantities of gas. I had never been concerned about these continuous gas flares until about 10 years ago, when I read Al Gore's book Earth in the Balance. My interest in environmentalism was further aroused by the 2004 award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Wangari Maathai, who was also named among your Heroes.
