worm poop!

how great is this: princeton university student drops out of school to invest in worm poop, also known as TerraCycle. basically it's all a bunch of garbage...their product is made from trash, packaged in trash, and yep, shipped in trash.

the concept was developed from a compost container full of worms. it's simple: when you feed worms trash, they absorb the ickiness and excrete nutrient-packed fertilizer. as for their shipping and packaging, its all made out of recycled material. genius.



the even cooler thing about their worm poop is that they have used it as a launching pad for community-based development projects. one that i find particularly interesting is their graffiti jam - an event meant to raise residents spirits and promote the beautification of neighborhoods in urban trenton, nj. they had over 50 graffiti artists from all over the country in attendance. check it out:



they are also designing urban art flower pots. check for more details on their site.
