On Jan. 2, I blogged about the vote on Grist.org for the environmental hero of the year. I guess you all voted because as of Thursday, Bruce Nilles was whomping Barack Obama 661 votes to 399. It’s the only time I ever hope to see Obama lose an election. Other contenders included James Hansen, Thomas Friedman, and, of course, Oprah. Here’s the most recent post.

Vote or die!
Last chance to pick your top hero/villain of 2008
Just before the holidays, we put up a list of green heroes and green villains for 2008 and asked readers to vote for their favorite (or, um, unfavorite). Currently the top hero is Sierra Club's anti-coal activist Bruce Nilles, with 661 votes -- a healthy lead over the second place hero James Hansen at 437. (Guess it helps to have a very large club at your back.) Third is Barack Obama with 399 and fourth is Michael Pollan with 258.
