It is important that we keep in mind those who have most affected the environment by words or action. Each year, this site takes a poll to find those most deserving to be in the Environmental Hall of Fame and the Environmental Hall of Shame. Please place your nominations for each category 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, 2016. 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

Please nominate your choices in a comment.
For Hall of shame I nominate Barack Obama because the federal government is largest consumer of energy and the buck stops there.
For Hall of fame I nominate Volkswagon because they own Porsche and they make the super fast Porsche 918.. It's a hybrid that's really fun to drive.
For Hall of shame I nominate James Hansen . He wouldn't know real science if it bit him in the ass .
I nominate Obama for the Hall of Shame. His extralegal termination of the Yucca Mountain project has hurt the only viable base-load technology capable of effecting atmospheric carbon levels.
