The short answer is you probably just want:

me ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: SETENV: ALL

The long answer is that the sudoers file determines what users and
groups a command may be run as.  Both users and groups need to be
explicitly allowed in sudoers.  There is a special case for running
a command as the invoking user but there is not a currently a special
case for running the command as the invoking user *and* one of the
invoking user's groups.  I agree it would make sense for sudo to
allow this, but currently it does not.
