Please Nominate Your Candidates for the 2016 Environmental Hall of Fame/Shame Awards
It is important that we recognize those who have most affected the environment by their words and actions. 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 send your nominations for each category by e-mail through the “Contact the Author” 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, 2017. 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

(C) 2017 Que
The 2016 hall of shame winner is the EPA for not repealing those ridiculous rules on low water level toilets. Now instead on one flush it takes three to make the poop go down.
The hall of fame winner is Ferrari for building the most incredible hybrid ever the LaFerrari.
year: 2017 make: Ferrari Model: LaFerrari price: $ 3400000 Engine: V12 Horsepower @ RPM: 963 Torque @ RPM: 663 Displacement: 6.3 L 0-60 time: 3 sec. Top Speed: 217 mphThanks for the nominations. That is quite a Ferrari, very few hybrids have a 963 hp engine to charge the batteries.
Hall of Fame is easy. Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson. Hall of Shame is not listed because he is only recently, but very nastily and especially horribly, active and that would be Donald J. Trump
Thanks for the nominations. Donald Trump didn't take office until 2017, but he probably set enough on the campaign trail to qualify several times over.
Well, as an alternate to the Hall of Shame I pick Rick Snyder (no relation), since there is no telling how much long term damage has been done to the children of Flint.
