I had seen it. It's for businesses, so I don't think it's for WVSC. Actually, I was just slightly suspicious whether there'd be some greenwashing going on...

February 5, 2009 Dear Environmental Sustainability Professional: What is your business, organization, or corporation doing to sustain our environment? Do consumers know about your products and or services? Are you looking for a way to market your latest innovations while also trying to remain stable in such a fragile economy? If so, we, the West Virginia Wesleyan College Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team would like to invite you to be a part of the "2009 West Virginia Go Green Convention". This event was established to promote the greening of America's businesses and community through demonstrations of environmental sustainability practices and by exhibiting innovative "green" products, thereby supporting the education and networking of both consumers and producers. This convention has been endorsed by the state of West Virginia because of its vital contribution in keeping West Virginia both, "Wild and Wonderful." Our SIFE team's commitment to environmental sustainability sparked the development of this convention. We believe that through your support and participation in this convention, we can teach and promote a cleaner, healthier, more prosperous lifestyle. This convention can be a great opportunity for your company to respond to the ongoing "green" movement happening in America. More and more, customers are choosing products that are environmentally friendly. Our convention can benefit your organization by helping your business appeal to new customers face-to-face, while also developing networking relations. Furthermore, your organization can impact how consumers buy and think when making future purchases. This convention will also be a great opportunity for your business to gain some news media coverage through supporting the greening of America.
The convention will be held on February 21, 2009 from 12:00- 6:00PM in the West Virginia Wesleyan College Auxiliary Gym. We have enclosed a brochure and all needed application materials with this letter so that you may participate in our event. We ask that your organization please inform us of your decision to participate by February 9, 2009. You can also register online at www.wvgogreenconvention.com. If your company has any questions or comments about the coWenvention, or if you wish to speak with a director, please call Shawn McPherson at 1-304-669-8459 or Samantha Phillips at 1-304-677-8914. Looking forward to hearing from you,
