First off, let me just say thanks to all my customers and those who keep up with this blog.

Worms etc is about more than just worms, hence the etc part, we are about using composting techniques to bring change and hope.

So you ask how?

The lowly worm in my opinion can do miraculous thing.

1. Improve water quality.

More people die every year from bad water than all acts of violence, war, vehicle accidents, malaria, HIV/AIDS Combined!!!

87% of the world population drink from unsafe water sources.

3.6 million die every year from bad water.

Much of this water is contaminated from human and animal manure. Worms quickly turn deadly fecal matter into safe compost.

Also synthetic fertilizers contaminate water sources making them unsuitable for drinking and also kill fish populations. Worm castings can be used instead.

2. Reduce garbage

Other forms of garbage that attract rodents and then plagues can be consumed by worms.

3. Feed the hungry

Worm casting increase the fertility of infertile soil.

4. Produce an honest living and break the cycle of poverty

By employing farmers to manage the worm farm and then providing farming opportunities out of the improved soils from the resulting castings.

So how to we get there?

1.

Learn how to manage worms and grow worms with garbage in real life third world situations. (in-progress)

2.

Network and establish connections with other humanitarian aid groups such as Cause Life. These groups already have infrastructure and access to developing countries and can provide needed advice and support.

3.

Find a test site. The test site needs to be a best case scenario to help the learning process along. After we understand more fully the problems that we will face we can move to harder situations.

4.
