<p>I read the grant requirements and it is clear that the committee
is willing to entertain multi-year projects as a special
exception. The Sustainability Forum is a project that has so much
potential to generate economy through sustainable practices that I
think if we have a little feedback from the Dowe committee we
could create a first year project that leads to and supports the
Forum. This is an opportunity for Dowe to gain a lot of traction
in the community if they decide to have a little wiggle room. <br>
</p>
<p>If we think of what we could do the first year - Perhaps create
online features of what's happening locally that is going in a
sustainable direction and how to improve it we would gather some
steam for the project and push our agenda. Just one thought.
Signage for buildings and churches (private homes too) that are
practicing some form of sustainable practice (like the bike/tour
shop downtown might be) to begin a real conversation in the
community and then move all that onto the forum in the next phase
of the project (think about the sustainable church designation as
a prototype and something that could be promoted already). Just
another thought. Annie<br>

I'll catch up on the email chain, but attached you
can find the application form and criteria. While
I believe the Sustainability Forum is fantastic
and worth the funding :) my impression is this
grant is geared towards the kinds of projects the
sustainability forum is trying to inspired the
community to implement. It will give us the
opportunity to showcase a great example at the
forum when we finally nail down a date!<br>

<div>Hello Fellow Green Sanctuary Members,</div>

</div>
<div>First of all, hope your Memorial Weekend is
going well!</div>
<div>My company is sponsoring sustainability
projects in the local community with Clear
Into the Future grants of up to $10,000
(typical awards are $5k - $10k). Projects must
support one of the following:</div>
<div> 1. Climate change resilience<br>
</div>
<div> 2. Climate change mitigation</div>
<div> 3. Water stewardship</div>
<div> 4. Circular economy</div>
<div> 5. Protect biodiversity</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>These are exactly the type of projects we
were trying to inspire the community to pursue
with the sustainability forum! Does anyone
have any ongoing projects or project ideas
that this grant can help turn into a realty?<b>
Application is due June 5th and the project
must start in year 2020</b>. Please send
multiple ideas. I will be the sponsor for the
application. Please see attached criteria and
application forms.</div>

<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>

<div>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><br>
</div>
<div>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><br>
</div>
<div>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><br>
</div>
<div>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><br>
</div>
<div>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><br>
</div>
<div>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>

I like your idea of the

What about planning a
virtual "Sustainability Forum" for
the fall (it's unlikely that
in-person meetings will be OK by

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>
<br>
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>
<br>
Of course, that’s just my idea.
Perhaps you can come up with
something even better.<br>
<br>
Michael, will you please tell us
the details of this grant, and how
we apply?<br>
<br>
