Green
T - Awareness to Action - Life Lessons and
Learning to Love Worms Our first speaker of the evening
will be Cathy Nesbitt - worm advocate and founder of Cathy’s Crawly
Composters. Cathy believes that the solution to the garbage crisis
is actually several solutions, and one of those solutions is vermicomposting.
In her presentation, Cathy will help us discover how to convert
organic matter into nature’s finest soil amendment as we find out
how red wiggler worms benefit the environment. |

Business
Development - It's "No" for Sure,
Unless You Ask - My friend and colleague Cathy Nesbitt
of Cathy's Crawly Composters won the coveted Green Business Award
from the Greater Innisfil Chamber Of Commerce ... Again. To her
the honor, glory and kudos. To me the pleasure of watching her walk
to the podium and accept. |

Health Care Blog - The worms have arrived! |
About the author: Gisela McKay - I am one of
the two owners of pixcode (the company that runs NHC along with
CanadianFoodies.ca, CanadaEventsCalendar.ca, Wellergize, and more).
I'm the voice you'll hear on the radio most often - which is odd
for me since I am really a behind-the-scenes kind of person. Mostly.
I'm part geek, part cheerleader. All these years later. |

A
Greener Life - Worm Food - The City
of Toronto worker’s strike has been good for the worm business.
Cathy Nesbitt of Cathy’s Crawly Composters (probably more widely

strike by 30,000 inside and outside workers - including those who
collect garbage, recycling and green bin material - began June 22. |
About the author: Danielle Milley - The journey
to a greener life can sometimes be overwhelming, but it’s really
about making a difference one small action at a time. There’s a
lot to learn so on this blog I want to share what I’ve learned over
the years, as well as what environmental issues are being talked
about in the city. I invite you to send in tips, stories and suggestions
on how you are working towards a greener life. |

Beautiful
Vegan - I'm worm composting ... Finally!
- I'm composting with worms (otherwise known as vermicomposting).
I learned a bit about it in Costa Rica on the organic farm, and
have been wanting to do it in my home for some time. I'm still really
freaked out by them, but I followed Cathy's instructions (the Queen
of Worms) - go to her website and click on instructions at www.cathyscomposters.com.
|
About the author: Lyn Rose - We (my son, life-partner
and I) are an environmentally-compassionate family dedicated to
creating positive change on this planet. Becoming vegan is a powerful
way to say 'I will not participate in the environmental, health
and karmic problems associated with eating animals. |
|

of mine who runs her own worm composting and education business

about the debate over trash, in this case bad-mouthing part of the
solution. |
About the author: Chris Greaves - A thinking
man with a passion for vermicomposting, finding a second use for
everything (SUFE), programming and Logic. You will find Chris' fascinating
comments and opinions on just about everything from grey water solutions

|
Once
upon a worm - But when this story begins, I had just
moved to a new city and was looking to start a new composter. So
I was excited when a local company (cathyscomposters.com) that raises
and sells red wriggler worms. |

While not busy exploring the alleys of her new city, Toronto, Ontario, Anna likes to cook elaborate vegetarian meals and squish her cat.

Dirty
Girl Motor Racing - Worms are slow, but they still
make great pets ... In my ongoing theme of things that are 'dirty',
this article is about composting with worms, the photos below include
graphic images of dirt and a close-up of a worm... consider yourself
forewarned. |
About the author: Andrea Goodman - The Dirty
Girl Motor Racing name ... a protest (or perhaps just rebellion?)
against societies expectations about class, gender and dirt. Growing
up I discovered that a woman, to be thought a lady, must remain
clean ... |
