Environmental Economics

In response to the overwhelming grassroots interest we've received we have in being nominated for a Nobel Prize in honor of our contribution to the promulgation of environmental economics in the blogosphere, I've done some research
(i.e. I Googled 'Nobel Prize in Economic Scence nomination'–I would've Google 'Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel' but I can never remember the real name…that will change when we win). 

Here are the criteria for being a nominator:

The right to submit proposals for the award of a Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel shall, by statute, be enjoyed by:

1. Swedish and foreign members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences;
2. Members of the Prize Committee for the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel;
3. Persons who have been awarded the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel;
4. Permanent professors in relevant subjects at the universities and colleges in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Norway;
5. Holders of corresponding chairs in at least six universities or colleges, selected for the relevant year by the Academy of Sciences with a view to ensuring the appropriate distribution between different countries and their seats of learning; and
6. Other scientists from whom the Academy may see fit to invite proposals.

Somewhere in my family tree is a two-time President of the Swiss Confederation: Robert Haab.  That should count for something, right? 

Oh, wait, Swiss=Switzerland. 

Not Sweden. 

My bad.

Anyhow…still looking for that nominator.

Rise up env-econers! Grass doesn't grow without roots.
