Wait! Don’t donate your body to science!
Ecopod
If you’re really looking to rack up Sustainy points, you can now give back to the bitter end… with a biodegradable coffin!
Nothing puts the celebratory stamp on your life more than a brightly colored, hand-made, recycled paper eco-coffin. Green burials do cost about the same as your typical lead box, but at least you can truly rest in peace knowing you have not contributed to the the billion dollar industry that supports “Americans entombing more than 1.6 million tons of concrete and nearly 830,000 gallons of toxic embalming fluid annually, plus immense amounts of steel.”
Acorn Urn
Truly engage your morbid curiosity and hit up Natural Burial Company which has tons of info on green burials, natural funeral planners and even “eco-elegant” organic flowers.
Other cool ways to recycle yourself can be found over at Colorful Coffins and Ecopod. My personal favorite has to be the oh-so-stylish “Acorn Urn” shown here. Golly, I almost can’t wait to make my transition into higher consciousness a sustainable one.
