Earthworm: Who are We?

Earthworm: Who are We? | A Clean, Green Home | Scoop.it
From www.acleanearth.com - April 30, 2013 4:02 PM

That caustic cleaning collection under my sink really bothered me. I worried that those harsh chemicals were dangerous to the environment and more importantly, dangerous to the ones I love. It became my motivation to create Earthworm.


Earthworm Family-Safe Products use natural, enzyme-based formulas to break down organic materials. All living things contain enzymes. Enzymes are just proteins. We've harnessed these enzymes to aggressively attack food, grease, fats and almost any other organic material. And when they're done working, only harmless nutrients and water are left behind. No chemical residues.


-Ricky Greer, Founder

The Earthworm brand is all about keeping your home clean in a safe, family-oriented way. Follow us for tips on happy, healthy family fun.

With the holiday weekend coming up and the weather (hopefully?) taking a turn for the better, many of us may start feeling a bit green-fingered and turn our attentions to a spot of gardening.But one New York-based tech start-up is hoping that worrying about seasons will be a thing of the past when it comes to growing your own plants, fruit and veg.Bitponics claims to be "your personal gardening assistant". The system it sells is a cloud-based hydroponics gardening manager.
