Cathy Nesbitt is a Worm Advocate and Founder of Cathy's Crawly Composters.
Established in 2002 this environmental business specializes in vermicomposting
(indoor composting with worms) and organic diversion. Vermicomposting
is a leading edge answer to our organic waste problem.
Cathy's
Crawly Composters endeavours to reduce the amount of waste going
to the landfill. We recycle organic material by vermicomposting
with worms and produce beautiful black castings. Castings are
a high grade natural soil enhancer, one of the best fertilizers
available anywhere.
In addition to Red Wiggler Worms, we also offer worm workshops, complete
vermicomposting systems, educational books and videos.
Through inspirational story telling and an incredible sense
of humour, Cathy has raised the level of awareness about environmental
conservation. Cathy's thought-provoking style of speaking inspires
individuals to take action and do something. Over 75,000 students
have seen her presentation! Cathy has spoken on vermiculture
at provincial and national conferences. She has also been featured
in a variety of media including print, television and radio.
Cathy is also the subject of a documentary: Squirm
- The Cathy's Crawly Composters Story.
