    Worm Composting with Zero Waste Guy - Jonathan Levy

    His journey with worms started in the unlikeliest of places...a penitentiary. Now he raises a full scale worm operation in his community garden and shares his passion with his many followers on Instagram. Jonathan is a keynote speaker, a highly recognized environmental consultant, a waste and recycling expert and a good friend of the podcast. Here's what our conversation delivers in this episode: Worm composting is a practical solution for reducing waste. Traditional waste management systems are inefficient and outdated. Creating closed-loop systems can significantly reduce waste and environmental impact. Worm castings are a valuable natural fertilizer for gardens. Finding inspiration in waste management solutions found in nature can lead to an increase in all of our bottom lines, not just the environments. When he's not walking through piles of trash or meeting with businesses and municipal agencies about reducing their waste, he is publishing a monthly newsletter for his consulting agency at Zero Waste Pro and he is always sharing practical wisdom on his feed on Instagram @zerowasteguy. To get you started on your worm journey, you can find his free guide to vermiposting here. www.zerowastepro.com/worms Please consider supporting our friends at www.memesworms.com where you can get hooked up with your first few hundred red wrigglers of your own. sustainability, worm composting, community gardens, waste management, zero waste, environmental impact, recycling, organic waste, closed loop systems, eco-friendly practices
