PMUA Environmental Fair

On Saturday, September 7, we particpated in the 14th Annual PMUA Environmental Fair, which is held in the Library Park in Plainfield.  The fair runs from 11am to 3pm, and is popular and well attended.

We chatted with a lot of folks about food waste recycling and the pilots we are running.

The weather was beautiful.  We brought Abbie and Katie and our wagon to give rides.  People waited patiently in long lines for their turn.  We took everyone around the park and through part of the Van Wyck Brooks Historic District.  Video - PMUA Wagon Ride

In this video, the horses were coming up the road with passengers to the drop off/pick up point. Everyone had a great time - there was good food, dancing, and wagon rides!

Marc Wirasnik and Carley Reuter work for Green Waste Technologies, specifically with the horses.

Marc has a Bachelor's degree in Equine Science from Morristown University in New York, with a specialization in draft horses and driving.  Marc has shown 6 horses in hand -- which means you are driving 6 horses!  He has shown draft horses, trained young animals and farms.  He grows hay and straw.  Marc is our Manager of Equine Transportation, and as we grow will manage and be responsible for our horse operations.

Carley has worked with horses all her life, mostly with jumping and eventing.  She is apprenticing with us, learning to handle the big horses.  Carley takes care of the horses day to day.
