More than 1,200 guests filled the Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture tonight to celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama and Joseph Biden and America’s green economy at the 2009 Green Inaugural Ball (www.greenball2009.org). Former Vice President Al Gore served as the event’s Honorary Chair and was joined by more than 75 environmental, conservation, labor, civil justice, youth, and business groups who are promoting clean and efficient energy, bringing the technologies to market, protecting America’s natural heritage and creating the green jobs that will be at the heart of America’s economic recovery.
