Worm Poop: Livin' the Dream

For those out of the loop, it's all about poop. Worm poop that is. To wrap up Recycle Week here at the Lazy Environmentalist, we have a guest who is truly living an Eco-Capitalist's dream. Relying upon billions of worms, used soda bottles, and an innovative business approach, Trenton, New Jersey-based Terracycle is shaking up the lawn care industry and taking poop to the next level.

Today's Featured Guest:

Tom Szaky – Co-Founder of Terracycle, a manufacturer of affordable, potent, organic products that are not only made from waste, but are also packaged entirely in waste. TerraCycle Plant Food™ is made by feeding premium organic waste to millions of worms. The worm poop is then liquified into a powerful organic plant food and bottled directly in used soda bottles.

Companies, Projects and Products Mentioned on Today's Show:

Sustainable Style Foundations's 2007 Best Dressed Environmental List- including Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, and our dear friend Summer Rayne Oakes.

Big Shout Out to Steve Shriver, founder of Ecolips who is on day 2 of his Organic Endurathon. 10 Marathons in 10 days. 260+ miles. Running across Iowa informing folks about the environment and global warming. This guy is the real deal.
