Through her vermicomposting business, Cathy’s Crawly Composters, she sells red wigglers to homeowners for composting, works the birthday-party circuit and speaks of wormy virtues to schools and garden societies.

Article & Photo by: Sean Pearce Where there’s a worm there’s a way. That’s the hope of Bradford’s Cathy Nesbitt who you may know from her business Cathy’s Crawly Composters. She was recently contacted by Maria Rodriguez, the executive director of Byoearth Guatemala, to provide assistance and her somewhat unique expertise to help the organization set up a vermicomposting operation near the largest garbage dump in that country’s capital city. “They’re trying to eradicate extreme poverty in Latin America,” Ms Nesbitt said. ...

Article by: Elora Crawford Young students at St. Alfred Catholic School learned a squirmy lesson in composting while welcoming their new friends — Red Wiggler worms — into the classroom. Composting bins containing worms were installed in each classroom of the Mississauga school on Feb. 28 as part of a program funded by TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. “Seeing projects that engage youth in their local environment is always exciting and it’s encouraging to see students excited about reducing waste in their schools,” said Mary Desjardins, executive director ...

Healthy Food through Healthy Soil
Vermicomposting, or worm composting, is an excellent way to convert household garbage into nutrient rich fertilizer. Cathy, from Cathy’s Crawly Composters, visited students at St. Alfred’s Catholic School on Tuesday, February 28th, to explain how composting with specialty worms, known as Red Wigglers, is a clean and environmentally friendly way to save tonnes of waste from going to landfill. Cathy and the children made up a worm bed using a container with air holes, a mixture of shredded paper products, a liter of soil with micro-organisms, some egg shells or lime, about 1.5 ...

drug induced lupus, systemic autoimmune disorder, systemic lupus
Ours is a chemical world. Besides the additives and preservatives designed to keep our food fresh, we're inundated with dioxin used to bleach paper products and DEHP which renders plastic flexible while acting as an endocrine disruptor. By fooling our body into thinking it's an estrogen compound, DEHP and DINP play havoc with our immune systems and our hormones. Having worked in medicine for thirty years, I can clearly see the results of the post World War II chemical revolution. The number of individuals affected with autoimmune disease has skyrocketed. For practically every pharmaceutical ...

The health hazards of slow bio-degrading plastic.
“The Great Pacific Garbage Patch” was discovered accidentally by yachtsman Charles Moore and his crew, who decided to take a shortcut back home to California, after competing in a sailing race to Hawaii. Their 1997 shortcut took them into an area of the North Pacific known as the “doldrums”. This region of high atmospheric pressure has been historically avoided by mariners because it is renowned for a lack of wind that becalmed sailing ships. It is a zone where many maritime current converge, creating a slow vortex. This whirlpool effect sucks floating filth from the ...
