Edgecomb resident Raymond Shadis, a leading environmentalist and anti-nuclear activist, earned recognition from the National Environmental Hall of Fame.
The National Environmental Hall of Fame has given National Awards to top environmentalists including Harrison Ford, Pierce Brosnan, Art Linkletter, Ed Begley Jr., and William McDonough. The National Environmental Hall of Fame is now starting local chapters in hundreds of communities through the National Sustainability Association.
The Midcoast Environmental Hall of Fame recognizes Midcoast Maine’s leading environmentalists in 12 fields and chose Ray Shadis to be inducted as member this year.
“I’m honored to be considered among such company,” said Friends of the Coast – Opposing Nuclear Pollution founder, Ray Shadis. “From the beginning, the focus of our organization and that of the other groups that I’ve assisted has been environmental responsibility and it is exciting to be recognized in that regard.”
Raymond Shadis invites citizens of Midcoast Maine to nominate top environmentalists. The National Environmental Hall of Fame recognizes the most outstanding organizations and individuals for their longstanding commitment to helping create a green, sustainable planet and response to climate change. Criteria for Hall of Fame award recipients include recommendations by peers, longevity in the environmental field and overall impact.
