<p>Please consider the Sustainability Forum. It has great promise
to change the economy of Marietta by creating a culture of
sustainable practices starting with an assessment, and then a
community-wide meeting. The potential impact is what we are all
longing to see come to life. I will be happy to work with Michael
on this. Annie<br>

Friends,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I can’t believe it: I assumed Michael Chisholm was
on the GSC mailing list, but he was not! I’ve cc’d him on this
message, forwarded what we discussed previously to him, and
asked Ralph to add him to the list. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I ran into him again this evening, and he wondered
why we weren’t discussing the grant. Well, we did…. but then we
stopped. But Michael wasn’t in on the discussion!!!!!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Anyway, he is now, and tonight he said that the
grant proposals need to be submitted by THIS FRIDAY! We need to
make a decision on this soon. Michael will take the lead on
sponsoring the proposal, and writing it up. We just need to come
up with something that will fly with DuPont. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Personally, I LOVE Elin’s idea of swift towers along
the river trail! Lots of communities are building them, since
chimney swifts are on the decline, and people cap their
chimneys, or increasingly build houses without chimneys. And, of
course, we long ago took down the vast forests full of ancient
trees, many of which had broken tops—the original nesting sites
for the species. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Michael, do you think a seriously professional
community-wide sustainability survey would fly with DuPont? Or
funding a super duper Sustainable MOV Forum (but without a date
being set)? Or a seriously great virtual Sustainable Marietta
Forum?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Folks, do we have any other ideas? Michael said
whatever we come up with, the money has to be spent in 2020, and
if DuPont likes the results, it’s possible they’d look favorably
on us again in 2021.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Put on your thinking caps and reply soon. Be sure to
include <a href="mailto:mchisholm20@gmail.com" class=""

What about planning a virtual "Sustainability

I was talking to Michael Chisholm today, and he told
me that DuPont is offering grants for sustainability
projects of up to $10,000–locally. They need to have
an in-house sponsor (MICHAEL!!), and I think he said
the deadline to apply is June 6.<br class="">
<br class="">
Imagine what we could pull off if we had up to $10,000
to put on a Sustainable Marietta Forum!! But we can’t
even set a date for that yet, so, let’s come up with a
different idea. How about this: an electric car
charging station (or two) in front of FUUSM that (on
sunny days) would be powered by the SUN—on the roof of
the sanctuary. Maybe we could have a few small panels
installed on posts—part of the charging stations (?)
that connected to FUUSMs system, too, but more visible
to make it clear that cars charged there would be
running on SUNSHINE!!<br class="">
<br class="">
Of course, that’s just my idea. Perhaps you can come
up with something even better.<br class="">
<br class="">
Michael, will you please tell us the details of this
grant, and how we apply?<br class="">
