Spotlight: The Walden World Highlighted Eddy’s Styrofoam-Eating Worms
The Walden World wrote a feature article on Eddy’s contributions to the eco-friendly surfboard industry.
“Meet Eddy Garcia of Living Earth Systems, a holistic firm specializing in sustainable farm design. He also runs a non-profit, Regenerative Education Centers, an eco-education center focused on regenerative lifestyles and solutions for a sustainable future.
Eddy grew up in Hawaii, where he put surfing above most other things. As a teenager, he went to Molokai and was adopted into a Hawaiian family through the hanai system (on Hawaii there are no “unwanted” children, anyone can be adopted by another regardless of age). His job was to hunt, fish and grow food for the family. Eddy surfed all day, every day.
One of his first jobs was in regenerative agriculture—helping repair the damage from chemical fertilizers to the fields in Hawaii by the pineapple and sugarcane industries. To Eddy, it was obvious that there was no reason to fight Nature to grow food with chemicals when Nature is already perfect and balanced. Eddy now helps others to build sustainable farms that regenerate the soil, and shares his unique knowledge with the world.”

About The Walden World
The Walden World is an online California lifestyle magazine focused on surf, environment, and adventure.
As habitual surfers, we feel deeply connected with the Sea.
We believe that waves are the best medicine for life’s woes. The Ocean has an innate ability to soothe us; heal our wounds, and as our water-planet is detrimentally changing we feel a moral obligation to do our best to heal the Ocean in return.
Ocean health is critical to us all—our relationship to the sea is symbiotic. We are living in drastic times. Words can entertain, educate and inspire people to create change. Change in our selves, change in our environment, change in our lifetime.
