Natural Burial - the GREEN alternative
- Have you prepared for your future?
- Are you concerned about the impact of your decision?
- Do you have all the information needed to make an informed choice?
Every year the cemetery industry buries over 827,000 gallons of embalming fluid, 104,000 tons of steel, 2,700 tons of copper and bronze, 1.6 million tons of concrete, and 30-plus million board feet of hardwoods. Even cremation pollutes the atmosphere with toxins such as mercury and carbon monoxide. You could drive 4,800 miles on the energy used for a single cremation (or go to the moon and back 83 times on the energy used from all cremations during one year in the United States).

Featured Teleseminar
Sharon Begley
In this teleseminar, host Cassandra Vieten discusses fascinating developments in neuroscience with author and Newsweek science columnist Sharon Begley. Many scientists believed the brain loses its plasticity with aging, but Sharon tells us that research now shows we can continue to learn throughout life. Although crosswords can help the brain’s fluency, to retain its plasticity we need to challenge ourselves with new learning all the time. Sharon also talks about meditation and the Dalai Lama’s interest in neuroscience and research, including work done by Prof. Richard Davidson, PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. You'll also hear about great websites for brain quizzes and well-researched products.Mending the Divide: Gathering the Gifts of Social Healing
