Al Gore To Buy PLENTY Magazine?

Ahh – my first true green magazine love.  PLENTY Magazine.  We’ve written about you in the past.  My wife informed me of a rumor that PLENTY is being purchased by none other than Al Gore.  After a little research, I found the article on Huff Po which led me to Conde Naste.

So is Al really buying PLENTY?  Hrmmm…mums the word from PLENTY founder, but it looks like there is definitely some truth to the rumors.

[from Conde Naste Portfolio.com] Asked about the situation, Plenty founder Mark Spellun acknowledged there is a deal of some sort in the works but said it was “not correct” to say that Gore was buying the company. “That wouldn’t be quite accurate,” he said. Pressed on whether that means Gore is purchasing some sort of interest, however, either directly or through another entity, Spellun declined to comment further, saying an announcement would come next week.

I love me some PLENTY Magazine and I welcome the additional role of Al Gore involved.  This is a perfect time for a 3 R’s giveaway.  I’ll be reducing, reusing, and recycling by giving away a few gently – okay – well abused – issues of PLENTY – about the last 5 issues.  Stay tuned.
