Description

Cathy Nesbitt does not limit composting to her condo. She brings her wrigglers to school. In this episode, she walks us through the moment a grade-three class went from squealing at worms to drafting letters that helped ban single-use styrofoam in their cafeteria.


What you’ll hear:

1️⃣ The exact ice-breaker Cathy uses to get kids to pick up a worm in under 60 seconds.

2️⃣ How a single jar of “black-gold” castings sparked a school-wide veggie-garden project.

3️⃣ The ripple effect: those same students, now in high school, campaigning for city-wide food-waste pickup.

4️⃣ Why Cathy believes youth activism is the secret sauce to fixing Canada’s landfill crisis.


Hit play, feel the squirm, and maybe recruit your own mini eco-army.
