While we’re on the subject of compost… how can the extreme eco-warrior ensure that he remains eco-friendly even from beyond the grave?Well a glossy board casket and chemical embalming are certainly out - and cremation also creates a woefully large carbon footprint.
Given the option of being turned into a nutrient-rich green-brown sludge that may be used as fertiliser, would you take it? You would if you were really serious about re-cycling, allegedly.
Resomation
The process of resomation is a new, more energy-efficient means of disposing of human remains gaining popularity among the environmentalist community. It sounds like a very self-destructive philosophy but it makes for sensible science.
Fat reduction
It works by dissolving fat and tissues in alkali and hot water, leaving only a sprinkling of powdered bone behind. I know we are looking for practical solutions but this sounds macabre! Ah well, out with the old and in with the new!
