Environmental Hall Of Fame

Sterling is in LA today to be given (and also to present) an award from Environmental Hall Of Fame! Here's a little explanation I got from their website-

****
This event will be the inaugural ceremony to launch the Environmental Hall of Fame. The first class of 14+ individuals or environmental groups will be inducted into the Environmental Hall of Fame that day. Full time research was conducted for over one year and is ongoing. Criteria for choosing nominees included recommendations by peers, longevity in the environmental field and overall impact.
The individuals or organizations chosen as nominees have already made some of the greatest contributions to the environment. There will be awards in 12 major fields that encompass approximately 50 categories, including: Awareness, Community, Energy Efficiency, Government, International, Media, Natural Capitalism, Solar Energy, Environmental Stewardship, Sustainability, Transportation and Wind Energy. The 50 categories span the depth and breadth of environmental concerns. This year we will induct approximately 50 individuals, organizations or businesses into the Hall of Fame, generally one for each category. A book and DVD are scheduled to be published in the summer of 2008 under the name “The Environmental Hall of Fame.” Once the inductees are chosen, we will include a profile of them, their contributions and recommendations in the book and DVD, “The Environmental Hall of Fame, 2008 Edition.” This book and DVD will be released to TV, Internet and other media for broadcast and distribution. The book and DVD will also be available to the public through the Environmental Hall of Fame website.
The recognition garnered in receiving a place in the Environmental Hall of Fame is intended to be equivalent to receiving an Academy, Emmy, or Grammy Award in the entertainment industry.
