So, hubby just got involved with one of the local historic cemeteries. Unfortunately, they are about to go broke! I suggested that maybe they should offer #GreenBurial plots. I know I would be more tempted if that were an option!

Ashes to ashes, corpse to #compost: #GreenWoodCemetery to offer ‘human composting’ starting in 2027

By Kirstyn Brendlen

"In pursuit of a more eco-friendly future, Green-Wood #Cemetery is going back to basics.

"Starting next year, the storied cemetery will offer a new burial option: 'natural organic reduction,' also known as human composting.

"The process is fairly similar to run-of-the-mill composting. Bodies are sealed in specialized 'pods' on a bed of hay, straw and alfalfa. The pods — designed to regulate moisture and airflow — rock gently back and forth to help speed decomposition.

"After just 40 days, the contents of the pod break down into roughly 160 pounds of nutrient-dense soil, which will be used to support Green-Wood’s many plants and trees. "

"And we have a lot of people that will also say, 'I want to be a tree,' or, 'I want to plant this tree at my mom’s grave.' We help them get to the place of understanding what it might be to be the whole forest."

So yes, I covered quite a few topics today -- including #Humanure and #GreenBurial -- because... Well, defecation and death are part of life. I hope to cover more #Permaculture and #Gardening articles next week, since it's a good time to start planning one's garden. And also places to purchase seeds (though #SeedLibraries are better, they may not have everything... Yet!). And of course, more #SolarPunk articles to inspire us in 2025! Join me next #SolarPunkSunday!

"For Fraser, it took a trip to her ancestral homeland of the United Kingdom to encounter her first woven burial vessel. Immediately taken with it, she made her way to northeast Scotland to train under weaver Karen Collins." —Sarah Murphy for Ambrook Research

#Mycoremediation, replacing #plastics, #meats, #packaging, #leathers and more are all possible with #fungi, perhaps the important #organism on #Earth.

Using and doing Everything, Everywhere, All at Once to mitigate #ClimateChange may save our #species. It's our best option.

Human composting, a process that turns human remains into soil, is a final gift to the Earth that some people choose for their end-of-life plans. Legal in several US states, the process involves placing the body in a vessel with organic materials that foster decomposition by microbes. The resulting soil can nourish plants and trees, creating a memorial for the deceased and reducing the environmental impact.

Curious about home funerals and green burial in Australia? I talk with Sarah Crews on her podcast A Path Home - part of the National Home Funeral Alliance in the USA - about what's new, what's hoped for, and what's important in a home funearl.
