Is cremation environmentally friendly?
Cremation uses fossil fuels and emits carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and about 1.6 million people are cremated in the United States each year. Human composting is a greener option cremation because it saves one metric ton of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere for every person who chooses it.
Each person who chooses human composting prevents the emissions equivalent of over 40 propane tanks. Conventional burial also creates emissions from the manufacture and transport of headstones, caskets, and grave liners, and requires ongoing upkeep of cemeteries.
