And, George, while I agree that the Green Sanctuary ought to focus our fund-raising for our own projects and initiatives (or to contribute to environmental causes such as FLMR and the Ohio Environmental Action Group), FUUSM is paying for curb-side recycling because we asked them to. FUUSM endorses and encourages the Green Sanctuary Committee, and embraces the Seventh Principle. I think this gesture, of using our Just Dinner to raise money for our parent group, is the right thing to do. And remember last year, we had a bunch of FUUSM members and friends attend who don’t usually attend Just Dinners—maybe because they haven’t thought about eating mindfully. So attending a Just Dinner catered by us folks who do try to eat mindfully might inspire others to do so, too.
