It’s easy to swoon over Tom Szaky. He started a company called TerraCycle <http://hypervocal.com/featured-contributors/2010/video-an-interview-with-the-worm-poop-guy/www.terracycle.net> when he was just a 19-year-old freshman at Princeton University. As a pot grower in Canada, Tom had discovered that worm poop was the best fertilizer. He decided to start manufacturing worm poop by…feeding old cafeteria food to worms…and then bottling their waste in used plastic bottles. Voila! The most environmentally-friendly fertilizer, ever, that sold at a lower price point than the competition.
