Eco-Exits

Happy Belated Earth Day!

Although Earth Day was last week (April 22, 2008), I thought I would remind readers that they can “die green” as well as “live green.”

Here are a few excerpts from Regan McTarsney, Green funerals make for eco-exits, Breitbard.com, April 20, 2008:

Cardboard coffins, clothes sewn from natural fibers, a burial plot in a natural setting. Green funerals attempt to be eco-friendly at every stage.  * * *

Britain has been a world leader in eco-friendly funerals for years and a source of green burial products and ideas for countries like the United States, where the trend is just starting to catch on. * * *
