We’re all about the green movement, but it’s the possibility of seeing sexy environmentalist Al Gore that has us excited about the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo. Promoting his latest book, Our Choice, the ex-Veep kicks off the three-day event with a keynote speech at Chase Field. A performance by alt-rock artist and fellow greenie Sheryl Crow follows.

As for the rest of the conference, it continues at Phoenix Convention Center, 100 North Third Street, through Friday, November 13, and is expected to draw enviros from all over the country who are interested in green products and technologies.
