Over 30 groups and sustainable businesses participated in the West Virginia Environmental Councils 16th Annual E-Day! at the State Capitol. This year, we were located in the hallways in front of the House and Senate chambers, so we had loads of traffic. Later that evening, Steve Himes treated us to some great music before an emotional awards ceremony. Many thanks to the E-Council lobby team, staff and board of directors for pulling off an excellent E-Day!
