Green Tip

I just saw an segment on the news about green burials. I never thought too much about how toxic the traditional burial is. I have never been a fan of the burying of the body in a casket, I much prefer cremation, but there are some really bad things going into the earth when you do a traditional burial. Green burials are getting more attention. http://www.perfectmemorials.com/blog/back-to-nature-green-burial-movement-gains-favor/ this blog had some good information about the metal, concrete and embalming fluid that go into the earth after a traditional burial. This all goes into our water system and soil. Green burials are often much cheaper than a traditional burial as well. Check out this website for more information. http://www.greenburials.org/. Don't mean to be a downer, but this is a subject that we often overlook when trying to clean up the soil and waterways.
