Green Burials Gaining Popularity
Death, and burial are not easy topics to discuss. They are certainly uncomfortable for most --- but death is part of life --- and there is no getting around it.
For those committed to a green lifestyle, a green burial may be the way to leave the earth a better place when you die.
Why?
>> Green burials are usually cheaper and more environmentally friendly.
Consider:
"We bury enough embalming fluid to fill eight Olympic-size swimming pools, enough metal to build the Golden Gate Bridge, and so much reinforced concrete in burial vaults that we could build a two-lane highway from New York to Detroit," Sehee said.

"Green burial provides us with a way of getting in sync with the natural process of death, decay, and regeneration, rather than having to stave it off, as conventional deathcare demands."
