Update #8: So, you still want to pledge?
Thanks again to everyone that has backed Throw To Grow.
I'm stoked to report that people love Throw To Grow so much that they still want to keep pledging. However, it seems that Kickstarter will no longer allow you to make pledges via the Throw To Grow Kickstarter page.
No worries! You can still make a pledge and we will still honor the rewards for whatever pledge tier you qualify for.
Here's what you have to do:
1. Decide how much you want to pledge and send an email directly to me (Jim) at eachoneteachonefarms.com telling me how much you want to pledge.
2. I will send you a PayPal invoice for that amount, which you can pay with your credit/debit card. You do not need to have a PayPal account.
We are still in the process of printing t-shirts and shopping bags, so please be patient for your delivery. Also, please note that some rewards require additional charges for shipping if outside of Hawaii. Be sure to read the reward description for that info.
Please don't hesitate to give a shout should you have any questions.
Aloha!
Jim & The Throw To Grow team

Project By
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.
