by Denise Poole, WVEC President | 2006

During the annual fall conference, E-council attendees prioritized these three initiatives for the 2006 legislative session: renewable energy, sludge impoundments, and storm water drainage.

The West Virginia Environmental Council (WVEC) is, well- there’s just no other way to put it - energized! Energized. because we have renewed our commitment to better protect our environment, communicate with WVEC groups and individuals and spearhead efforts toward renewable energy for West Virginia!

During our annual fall conference, attendees prioritized these three initiatives for the upcoming 2006 legislative session: renewable energy, sludge impoundments, and storm water drainage.

We will also support Fair and Clean Elections (campaign finance reform) led by PERC, and the container law (bottle bill) led by WV-Citizen Action Group. We like to say that we are a “special interest“ too: Folks who like to breathe clean air and drink clean water!

Stay tuned for updates on our renewable energy and legislative efforts beginning in January. We hope you are energized too - and we have many, many ways ways in which you can help. We’d love to hear from you.
