Ancient human wisdom recognized that the quickest way to reach our next natural state after drawing our last breath was to become one with earth. In earlier times I imagine kin covered bodies with whatever would keep scavengers from “desecrating” our remains. But whatever is used — rocks, dirt, coffins, vaults, crypts, urns — just delays our inevitable eternal reward which is to become one with Mother Earth. Composting remains provides a sensible option to that end which allows us to be reborn as living organisms once more, placed wherever our kin prefer.
I applaud the governor for signing the law, but wonder what the real or argued reasons were for dragging the implementation out to 2027.
Five years on to enact a process that has proceeded without this foolishness for millions of years. Possibly to extend profits to a very lucrative, but dying industry? We are wasting precious time and resources; and we are fouling our home in the wait. Human composting offers a sensible choice. Welcome option for the environment. Thank you for the attention to this important public issue.
