Jan 27: Waste Information & Management Services, Inc. (WIMS) is pleased to announce that three of our environmental information blogs -- eNewsUSA, Environmental Appeals Court, and Great Lakes Environment -- have all been nominated for prestigious recognition by LexisNexis Environmental Law & Climate Change Community (ELCCC). LexisNexis is a leading global provider of content-enabled workflow solutions designed specifically for professionals in the legal, risk management, corporate, government, law enforcement, accounting, and academic markets. LexisNexis provides customers with access to billions of searchable documents and records from more than 45,000 legal, news and business sources.
According to an announcement of the nominations from LexisNexis, "The environmental law and climate change practice area is part of an evolving phenomenon that is being touted in some circles as the next Rule of Law. Nowhere is this global renaissance more apparent than the blogosphere, which has spawned a surprisingly large (and growing) number of blogs in every conceivable niche category. For the first time, this Community will recognize the thought leaders who share their expertise -- and their divergent points of view -- with the online world by awarding an honorary designation to the Top 50 Blogs for Environmental Law & Climate Change. As many of you know, there are blogs, and then there are blogs. As we consider blogs for membership in ELCCC's Top 50, we look for timely topics, quality writing, frequent posts and that certain something 'extra' that keeps a web audience coming back for more. Our readers have come to expect nothing less, and we wouldn't have it any other way."
An initial list of nominees for ELCCC's Top 50 blogs for 2011 is included in the announcement (see link below). The announcement indicates that the top blogs campaign will move ahead in several phases. A comment period has begun and extends until February 14, 2011. Following the comment period, ELCCC staff will select the Top 50 Environmental Law & Climate Change Blogs for 2011. Thereafter, the matter will be put to a vote of the Environmental Law & Climate Change Community to pick the Top Blog of the Year.
ELCCC indicates that "if you want to nominate a new blog or say what you think about an existing nominee, you'll have to post a comment. It's easy and only takes a minute."
