Die Greener

submit to reddit

Grist has a piece up about greening your death. Some of the advice is unsurprising: have your funeral near where the people who care about you live so there are minimal transportation costs, try to get people to carpool, etc.

Day of the Dead The interesting part is that cremation is greener than burial. You just have to tell the funeral home to take out your fillings, which contain mercury, before they burn you up. When you get buried, you generally get embalmed with toxic chemicals. There is a Green Burial Council, but the green burial industry is still in its infancy.

A Hindu friend of mine told me that Hindus traditionally don’t go in for burial or even graveyards, which is deeply enviro of them because a graveyard is big lawn maintained with pesticides.
