Today I'm going to do something different, I'm not going to post photos taken by me, but write about some news that I came across a few days ago.
Let's start with human composting, which will be possible very soon in Washington, USA.
Yes, that's right Washington could become the first state to legalize human composting.
Composting is a very good think, I know that from experience. My dad has a composting place and all the organic waste goes into the composting bin, then the compost is used in the garden next spring. I can tell you from experience, composting is a very good thing, it's natural fertilizer.
But human composting? That's a whole different thing.
The aim is a less expensive way of dealing with human remains that is better for the environment than burial, which can leach chemicals into the ground, or cremation, which releases earth-warming carbon dioxide. source
I don't know yet if I'd opt for my body to be composted, but I think people have the right to decide what happens with them after they are gone. I think this method would be adopted by more states and countries, although in some countries, where the church has a saying, this method would never be adopted.
In some countries burial places are sold for life because they believe the spirits can't be disturbed. In other countries burial places are leased for a certain period and if you don't pay the lease, they are selling it to someone else because crowded cities don't have the luxury of keeping each and every cemetery intact for ages. I'm curious to see what's going to happen.
What do you think about it? Would you opt for your body to be composted?
My dear friend @melinda010100 has a challenge called #cemeteryphotos, which is interesting, since we get to see old and new cemeteries from all over the world. Melinda, what's going to happen with your challenge after human composting becomes real? :)
