How to run Meteor insert within a Fiber

Question

I have some code in init.js under the "lib" folder to take an event from the web3/ethereum package and store it in a collection. I've included the contextual information about web3/ethereum.

var events = contract_instance.allEvents([]);

events.watch(function(error, event){
  if (!error)
    console.log(event.args);

var event_object_value1 = event.args.value1;
//everything up to this point works fine.  event_object is in a json format.

//inserting the value into a collection on the server side like this is what causes the error.
collection.insert({"key": value1});
});

The last line produces the Meteor code must always run within a Fiber.error. Normally, I would insert using a Meteor Method, but I suspect I would get the same error when actually doing the insert.

I haven't been able to get my code within a fiber correctly. I've tried to follow this example here, but I think it's just way to above my understanding of Meteor: https://meteorhacks.com/fibers-eventloop-and-meteor/

Just replace

events.watch(function(error, event) {
  ...
});

with

events.watch(Meteor.bindEnvironment(function(error, event) {
  ...
}));

Meteor.bindEnvironment ensures that the wrapped function runs within a fiber.
