[Green] Sustainability grant offered locally!

[Annie Warmke]

I think, if it's feasible, we should include Sustainable Marietta as 
part of a grant - it could pay for venue rental, food, speakers, and 
someone to help with a survey, and a final report plus some types of 
ongoing support to get things moving forward after the forum.  This 
project has such incredible potential. Even if we don't have a date, we 
can demonstrate that there is interest and a track record, and not just 
idea.  Annie

>> 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!!
