Al Gore – Tennessee, $2.3 Million
Diving headfirst into the green revolution from his very own backyard, Al Gore turned his Nashville, Tennessee, home into a shining example of environmental stewardship. Snapping up the property in 2002 for $2.3 million, Al and Tipper Gore saw beyond its walls and envisioned a living space that could embody their commitment to a sustainable future.
Their mission? To dramatically slash their household’s carbon footprint and inspire others to follow suit. The transformation is nothing short of remarkable. The Gores equipped their home with cutting-edge solar panels, a savvy rainwater-collection system, and geothermal heating to keep things cozy without the carbon cost.
