Looks like Al Gore, whose global reach encompasses the Nobel Foundation, hipster television, and, you know, the actual globe, will soon add one more territory to his empire.
Portfolio‘s Jeff Bercovici reports that Gore will soon be buying a stake in Plenty, “a four-year-old title about environmentally-conscious living.” The former Veep’s exact stake–and exact role–in the bimonthly mag are still to be announced. But influence is suggested in the current issue’s cover art, which features, in the background, a line of orange-lit wind turbines–and, in the foreground, a similarly citrus-hued head shot of…Al Gore.
