Garbage Moguls make treasure out of trash; marathon to air Saturday

D

I’ve never watched “Jersey Shore,” but I think if I were going to watch a trashy show set in New Jersey, I’d go with “Garbage Moguls.”

Trenton, NJ’s TerraCycle tries to save the planet one discarded item at a time, making new products completely out of trash.  This Saturday,  National Geographic will air three all-new episodes of “Garbage Moguls.”

From the TerraCycle news release: “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.”

The pilot re-airs at 6:00pm CST, followed by the three all-new new episodes at 7:00, 8:00 and 9:00pm CST.

Want to know what Szaky’s thinking as the shows air?  You can follow the TerraCycle crew live on twitter during the marathon @TerraCycle and #garbagemoguls.  Facebook fans can win prizes by answering trivia questions during each episode.  Visit www.facebook.com/terracycle for more info.
