Environment Hamilton is pleased to invite nominations for the Betty Blashill Environmental Prize. 

Betty was a passionate advocate for a better environment.  However, she preferred to protect nature in her own quiet and steady way, far from the limelight and never seeking recognition.  She lived according to her favourite saying of Mahatma Gandhi: "Live simply so that others may simply live".  While Betty and her passionate and tireless environmental work are missed sorely since her death in 2006, we know others are taking up the torch to improve Hamilton.  Consider nominating one of those individuals for the Betty Blashill Prize.
