Dear All -
If you and partner organizations have an exhibit and programming opportunity
that might create market transformation in your area for renewable energy
and reduced greenhouse gas emissions through other venues, then this is an
opportunity for you. I think museums would be a GREAT venue for this.
I'd imagine a great application would include a museum or museums with a mix
of energy providers and/or service companies who collaborate on an exhibit
that extends into the municipality and the home. This means that if your
exhibit talks about renewable energy and energy conservation, the
programming has components that include community competitions for
percentage reduction in energy use (among schools, businesses, etc.) or
schools competing in composting; how about public discussions of green power
purchasing options in your area; or that highlights of community success
stories - farmers using cow power or solar power as a way to convince others
to do the same.
Of course - you have one week to submit via grants.gov..but just in case:
