Out with the Old...

Although it looks like 2005 will end on a high point (that nail-biting last-minute save of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, of course), this wasn't a great year for the environment. It was certainly eventful, though. From attacks on the Endangered Species Act to Hurricane Katrina to that $3-a-gallon wake-up call, a lot was going on. The editors of the Sierra Club's RAW newsletter thus had no shortage of candidates for their annual poll about "2005's Top Environmental Event."Cast your vote now. If you don't see the event that you think deserves the nod, feel free to add a write-in nomination in the comments here.
