Broke and trying to grow better pot: two ingredients for world class eco-innovation (August 27, 2008)
Tom Szaky was a freshman at Princeton when he and some friends stumbled upon a killer fertilizer: worm poop. “We were trying to grow better pot and it turned out worm poop did the trick” Tom told me matter-of-factly at the start of our conversation. At the time they were just trying to improve their homegrown plants, but Tom knew this find had broader implications. And furthermore, he was inspired...

Terracycle: Upcycling Plastic Bottles Into New Products. (August 27, 2008)
About a month ago or so, the people from Terracycle sent me a box full of their products to try out. I have written about Terracycle before when talking about the lack of plastic recycling here in town, and I have always been envious that I had not thought of their idea - upcycling plastic soda/water bottles and milk jugs into 2-liter bird feeders and new packaging for worm poop compost or household...

How to Recycle the Unrecyclable - Terracycle shows the way (August 22, 2008)
It’s encouraging to see the increasingly wide assortment and availability of products made from recycled materials, but there’s a problem on the other end: A lot of things aren’t accepted for recycling by curbside collection services, at least not in the US.
As this recent article in Fast Company details, it’s not currently profitable for recyclers to take much beyond the most common,...

Terracycle Transforms Middle Age Cynic into Youthful Idealist (August 22, 2008)
One of the humbling things about straddling the line between the Baby Boomers and Generation X isn’t getting older. After all as far as we’ve understood that’s the only option unless you have a real hankering to become worm food. No the humbling part is coming to realize that so many of those things your mother told you over and over and over again were true.
