Eco-Wackos Trot Out Human Composting Again, cBS Runs With It

Well, they’re a little late to the party, I’m sure I’ve done posts on this insanity in the past, but, you know, a wackadoodle idea from the doomsday cult never goes away

They want to tell you how it works. Do you really want to know?

(cBS) Most people plan to either be buried or cremated when they die, but there is another, environmentally friendly option: Human composting.

“So instead of being cremated and turned into ash, you’re getting gently transformed into soil,” Tom Harries, CEO and founder of Earth Funeral, explained Thursday on “CBS Mornings Plus.” (big snip)

He said he sees the eco-friendly option becoming more popular in the future.

“Death is obviously deeply personal, a lot of considerations, religion is one of them. There’s been a little bit of opposition, but I think it’s a new concept. It will gain greater acceptance in mainstream culture at the time.”

In seriousness, there are some who practice this and similar stuff. In Nepal they have what is called a sky burial, where they will lay the dead on a slab in the mountains, pull the body tight, then cut it. The vultures descend, and, whatever is left over is mashed into a pulp and then left there for the vultures to finish off. This seems more eco-loony, though.

Anyhow, I still love this from the Olympics. As a metal fan, it made me squee like a 10 year old getting a pony

    I’ve told Elaine that, after I croak, to have my body cremated, and then bury my ashes in the pet cemetery with Bridget, Duke — dogs — Princess Leia, Pluto, Kitten, Wild Thing, Floyd, Xion, and Emma, those being cats.

    Actually, composting puts more CO2 back into the environment, while burial is more like sequestering carbon.
    If it weren’t for inconsistency, the eco-terrorists would have no consistency at all.
