[Green] Sustainability grant offered locally!

Dawn:

     This looks like a great opportunity.

      I like your idea of the charging station--although this will likely benefit only a few people.

      What about planning a virtual "Sustainability Forum" for the fall (it's unlikely that in-person meetings will be OK by then? What are some costs associated with the Forum if it were virtual?

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?
