[Green] Sustainability grant offered locally!

[gbanz42 at suddenlink.net]

Thanks, Annie:

    We could apply for the grant to support an in-person Sustainability Forum and indicate that we will have such a form as soon as it can be done safely. I don't know if the grantor will allow for an indeterminate time for the vent??

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!!
