Each week GeekTonic covers the TV scene with a complete listing of premieres, finales and specials for the week.  As we slide through the end of summer there are still a few finales and some premieres to so check out the complete list below. Saturday, August 21 Garbage Moguls (8pm on National Geographic – Available in HD) – New reality series that follows a quirky group of young “eco-capitalists” at TerraCycle, Inc. who take “trash” and recycle it into something useful.  Yes this is a little geeky but should make for an interesting show for those that like to make stuff.  I’m recording the first episode to check it out.

Tag -- they're it

The young men and women who covered walls with graffiti art yesterday had no concerns about police shutting down their party -- the event was part of a legal celebration hosted annually by TerraCycle, the Trenton-based company that converts biodegradable waste into high-yield fertilizer.
