AL GORE TRAINING PROJECT TAPS LOCAL TRAINER
Non-Profit Selects Team to Certify as Global Warming Messengers
Austin, TX – January 11, 2007 – Local business owner, trainer
and speaker, Maura Nevel Thomas, has been selected by non-profit The Climate Project to spread the message from Al Gore’s 2006 documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.

Founded
by Al Gore, The Climate Project’s first initiative was to train 1,000 lecturers to educate and challenge individuals,
groups and governments into action against the growing crisis of global warming. Over 800 people have been trained so
far.
Mrs. Nevel Thomas, owner of local business Burget Avenue Management Services,
joined other professional speakers and thought leaders from around the country this month. They took part in an intensive
tutorial about issues surrounding global warming, led by the former Vice President and a team of renowned scientists and environmental
educators. The training was held in Mr. Gore’s hometown of Nashville, Tennessee.
“Maura is an outstanding
example of the millions of Americans who have been energized by the call to action on the climate crisis,” said Gore.
“We are so pleased that she has made a serious commitment to this challenge by coming to Nashville to become part of
this unprecedented grassroots effort.”
“It was time to increase my personal efforts in this cause.
The findings by the climate community, presented in An Inconvenient Truth, are compelling and can’t be ignored any longer.
It’s a moral issue, not a political one,” states Mrs. Nevel Thomas.
As a condition of acceptance, she
has pledged to deliver a minimum of 10 presentations over the next 12 months.
