Recycling has become second nature for most green living families It is no longer difficult to find products that contain recycled materials and  recycling centers are becoming pretty popular. I wanted to invite you into the mind of a business that takes recycling one step further. Terracycle <http://www.terracycle.net>  is a group of imaginative, green living warriors, who spend their days inventing ways to upcycle everyday trash, into cool, usable items. I have personal experience with their gardening products and school supplies. I also save our own recyclables for a local group that takes part in their recycling program.

National Geographic Channel's "Garbage Moguls" isn't your typical New Jersey-based reality series. Instead of peddling trashy behavior like "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" or even trashier outfits like Snooki and her gang, "Garbage Moguls" star and TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky deals with actually, literal garbage.

New Jersey-based TerraCycle has gained a well-earned reputation for turning garbage into great new products. On Saturday, August 21st, National Geographic will feature this amazingly innovative company in their new series, Garbage Moguls. The show will air three segments in which it follows the team of this innovative “repurposing” industry leader - “the coolest little start-up in American” (Inc. Magazine) - through their zany creative process to create products made completely out of trash.

With shows like The Real Housewives of New Jersey <http://www.examiner.com/tv-in-national/real-housewives-of-new-jersey-respond-to-danielle-staub-rumors>  and Jersey Shore as popular as they are, it was only a matter of time before a reality show about actual trash in New Jersey got made. Only this time, it's about Trenton, NJ's TerraCycle <http://www.terracycle.net/>  and saving the planet one Capri Sun pouch at a time, instead of botox, booze and behaving badly.

Terracycle <http://terracycle.net/> , founded in 2001 by Tom Szaky when he was a 19 year old Princeton freshman, began by selling all-natural plant fertilizers using old plastic soda bottles. The chemical fertilizer was literally "all-natural" because it was harvested from vermicompost <http://www.redwormcomposting.com/ecopreneurs/ten-things-i-love-about-terracycle/> : earthworm waste. Nearly ten years later, Terracycle products are being sold at major retailers like Walmart, Target, The Home Depot, OfficeMax, Petco and Whole Foods Market.

CRAFT contributor Tiffany Threadgould has exciting news about Garbage Moguls, a new show about products made completely from trash. You may remember we posted about the pilot episode  , well now there are three more new episodes:

On Saturday August 21st, National Geographic will air three all-new episodes of Garbage Moguls, an inside look at the zany way TerraCycle develops products made completely out of trash. Led by Princeton University drop-out and worm poop connoisseur Tom Szaky, the show follows TerraCycle's team of young "eco-capitalists" as they brainstorm, argue over, go dumpster diving for, and eventually create new products that help solve America's waste problem.

From National Geographic Channel Usually I can't stand reality shows and stay as far away as possible.  However, this Saturday a new reality show called Garbage Moguls will be airing on the National Geographic Channel <http://www.nationalgeographic.com/>  by our friends at TerraCycle <http://www.terracycle.net/> .

I’m not going to judge you for your obsession with Real Housewives, but if you’d like to tune in to some trashy television of the more guilt-free variety, you won’t want to miss the Garbage Moguls marathon airing this Saturday (starting at 7 pm) on the National Geographic Channel. The show follows the inner workings of one of my favorite eco-minded companies, TerraCycle, as its crew works to transform trash into treasure.
