I’m often surprised at the reaction when the conversation turns around to one of the greening projects I’m involved in. As a Director of the Natural Burial Association, I encourage people to think about their death and what will happen to their bodies when that day comes.
My surprise is that many of my colleagues in the sustainability business who are very committed to living greener, cleaner and healthier lives, haven’t given much thought to the footprint they will leave behind. Interest is now turning to how the end of our lives can contribute to greater sustainability.
Think of natural burial as the ultimate gift back to the land.
