We
want to thank everyone who participated in the recent second annual TRIP &
RCHR Green Fair & Recycling Day.
Peter Kroneau from Century Solar Supply said “The idea of a green fair in Troy is excellent! I
thought the vendor display was good, the coffee and goodies were terrific too.” From Tyler Holloway of Empire Zero
Waste, “It was a great event and I can’t wait
until next year’s Green Fair which I know will be even bigger and better!”
More
than 116 carloads of recycling was dropped off resulting in over 650 pounds of
clothes collected by St. Pauly Textile, which forwards it to groups that
provide disaster relief around the world; the diversion from landfills of 9,331
pounds of old TVs and other electronics; the collection of hundreds of books
for Grassroots Givers; and the collection of bikes for Troy Bike Rescue and
Bikes for Humanity. There was a great array of businesses and
organizations that were exhibiting their green products or strategies or
information.
