[Green] Sustainability grant offered locally!

[roger kalter]

Dear Dawn, Perhaps team up with Huntington Bank (we don’t have two spaces) and Chip Pickering to do two plug ins and still have the $10,000 for other incredible sustainable projects, such as match money for the $1.5 b CARES money for Multiuse trails. Connect Marietta with Devola. 
Or get Marietta city to start converting to electric vehicles or electric bikes. 

Or create an incredible migratory bird area. 


So many possibilities.

Dear Green friends,

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. 

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!!

Of course, that’s just my idea. Perhaps you can come up with something even better.

Michael, will you please tell us the details of this grant, and how we apply?
