Give Back to the Earth
Funeral practices have a profound impact on the environment.
Cremation contributes to climate change by burning fossil fuels and emitting carbon dioxide and toxic particulates into the air.
Burial pollutes soil and consumes valuable urban land. Caskets use four million acres of forest every year in the U.S.
Human composting transforms the body into life-giving soil, saving one metric ton of carbon pollution at the end of life.
