Nominate Your Candidates for the 2014 Environmental Hall of Fame/Shame Awards

It is important that we keep in mind those who have most affected the environment by words or action.  Each year, this site Earthrise2takes a poll to find those most deserving to be in the Environmental Hall of Fame and the Environmental Hall of Shame. Please send  your nominations  for  each category by e-mail through the “Contact” link or put it in the comment section . If you would, please include a short reason that your nominee should be chosen and suggest a suitable gift if they win.

Nominations will be taken until January 31st, 2015. The nominees will then be  listed  and this site will conduct a poll to determine the winner in each category.   You may suggest a suitable prize for your nominee. Please be imaginative, as particularly thoughtful or humorous  nominations will  be recognized and published on this site

  1. Joe Bush Says:

    I nominate Pope Francis for Hall of Fame for his Protect Creation efforts, or the people at Interfaith Power and Light..

    Senator Jim Inhofe gets my vote for Hall of Shame for his allegation that the air is clean. An alternate for the Hall of Shame could include The Nature Conservancy or the Osage Nation for their extraordinary efforts to maintain pollution in Oklahoma.

  2. J.C. Moore Says:

    Thanks. The Pope certainly deserves a lot of credit. And Inhofe too, but in the Shame category. If you haven’t run across it, there is a review of his “Hoax” book at http://jcmooreonline.com/2012/03/20/the-greatest-hoax-by-sen-james-inhofe/
