From the unique perspective of a worm farmer behind bars, Nick shares how sustainable programs have the power to unlock untold potential.
Nick has been a resident of Monroe Correctional Complex for the past 11 years. He is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys hunting, fishing, camping and hiking. A self-described environmentalist, he has been known to hug a tree or two. After taking a permaculture class a few years ago, Nick shifted his career track into sustainable practices and is currently employed as a worm farmer.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
