Who is Marketa?

The Inspiration Behind the Project, Marketa McCabe:

  • Marketa was a very bright, passionate young woman and lifelong Girl Scout.
  • She was also incredibly kind and caring, and her goofy jokes and warm personality could cheer anyone up on their worst days
  • Her greatest passions included nature, environmental protection, and social justice.
  • She studied engineering at Rowan University.
  • Marketa had a dream to one day use her degree to advance the systems we use to keep our planet clean and protect the natural environment.
  • Unfortunately, she passed away in 2021 during her sophomore year at Rowan.
  • She always wanted to help people and make the world a better place for human beings and every other creature on the planet.
  • This project aims to carry on Marketa’s dream of helping to protect the environment while educating others in our community about how to do the same.
