Thanks, Kathy, my same sentiments. I sent this information to the WVEC one week ago, and nobody seemed to notice.

Hey, Guys,
I don't know about any greenwashing! You may just be washing yourselves out of a good opportunity to educate college students about sustainability. Take another look at the mission statement of the convention. It's to educate folks about sustainability. I think this is a perfect place for a Sierra Club table filled with our information about sustainability! I hope someone can come. I'll be happy to meet someone for an early lunch, have some good conversation, and help you set up. Unfortunately, I have another engagement midafternoon to 8 pm, so I can't offer to join anyone for supper afterwards.
By the way, the faculty advisor, Dr. Scott Bellamy, is a very good man. I don't think he would have sent the invitation to Sierra Club accidentally.

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...
