Dead ... environmentally friendly!

If there is not enough time to live more beneficial to the environment, then be environmentally friendly when away from the world. This is the trend being encouraged in many countries around the world.

The cardboard cover, clothes for the deceased sewing with natural fibers, the resting land in the middle of the natural landscape, the ' green ' funerals are trying to ' environmentally friendly ' from A to Z. ' People are inclined to ponder the best way to live, and with that is the way to' go 'to the most environmentally beneficial ', Roslyn Cassidy - Green Endings director, service organizer Environmentally friendly funeral in England, commented.

Over the years, Britain has been at the forefront of environmentally friendly funeral ceremonies and a supplier of green burial ideas and products to countries like the United States, where this trend has just begun. Last weekend in London took place the Green Funeral Exhibition that attracted many businesses to exhibit products and services at the Natural Tough Center.

Some people might expect this burial tendency to be as cheap as ' homegrown ' while others are willing to accept high prices. However, according to Fran Hall, Epping Forest Cemetery's marketing director, 'the problem is choice, not price.'

Visitors watch the coffin self-destruct in clouds at an exhibition held on April 19 in London.

For the purpose of protecting the Earth, a funeral for the environment is not as simple as we think. The Natural Posture Center in London has a handbook for implementing environmental protection objectives for cemeteries. In the ' green ' funeral, the corpse is not marinated and is dressed in pure fiber. Environmentalists argue that chilling or using dry ice can replace the use of formaldehyde, which can penetrate water. Meanwhile, the self-destructing coat is also different from the traditional type made of wood. Exhibits at the exhibition are coffins made of rattan and cardboard, as thick as wooden ones, with decoration made by the family, and self-destruct within 3 months.

'This type of vest is a bit inconvenient in that it is not easy to move and does not look good if you accidentally get wet, ' recommends Oliver Peacock of the graveyard Oakfield Wood. For this reason, Oakfield Wood always reminded homeowners to be particularly light-hearted during burial. When it was first put into use in 1995, this cemetery is a green and green lawn. Currently, it becomes a forest with more than 1,600 trees that mark the resting place of the deceased, with a wooden stele above.

Marble tombs are no longer popular. Green Endings indicates that marble mining and transportation releases carbon contributing to climate change, and marble is also not a renewable source. For cremation - 70% of funerals in England choose this form - environmentally friendly remains and remains after cremation will be placed in pots of porcelain, glass or bamboo.

Under the new British regulations, starting in 2010 manufacturers must limit the amount of mercury in plastic and accessories associated with coffins to self-destruct. Director of Cassidy of Green Endings said that small details also have important implications for green funerals, such as bringing cars with cars instead of limousine-like shiny and long cars.
