Connected as Jimmy DiCarlo (470 friends)

My name is Jim DiCarlo and I am the creator of this Throw To Grow project. I never thought I'd be so passionate about trash. But, God has a plan and purpose for all of us and, well, here I am on a mission to change the way the world thinks about waste.

I live on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii. I moved here from NYC in March of 2006. Back home, I worked in advertising and marketing. I have also taught school here in Hawaii. I've finally declared myself an entrepreneur. I am fiercely passionate about sustainable food production. I started my company Each One Teach One (E1T1) Farms with the mission of making sustainability easy and accessible to the masses. We offer for sale our Bokashi Bucket (bokashi composting systems), Worm Bucket (worm composting system), organic fertilizers and other products to help you grow bigger, better, and cleaner. I am also passionate about teaching sustainability to kids, and I do programs in schools in Hawaiii. E1T1 Farms also offera classes and hosts talks/lectures on various sustainable food production topics and systems.
