For the best and bravest action by any citizen or public official in defense of the environment this year. And for the most heinous action against the environment by any public or corporate official or individual this year. Deadline is New Year's Eve. The winning nominator (and there may only be one entry, so the odds are good!) gets his or her choice of a Sierra Club calendar or datebook, or a copy of Silent Spring.
International, national, state or local actions are all eligible.
Sticking with the positive, I'll nominate 15-year-old Jenn Stigers of Copper Harbor, Michigan, whose 5-day outdoor "sit-in" in the town last August raised more than $7,500 toward the environmental protection purchase of beautiful Hunter's Point.

That kind of youthful determination for the environment makes all kinds of good things seem possible.
