Are Green Burials the way of the future? – Are Green Burials the way of the future?We’re all going to die, and we all hope to leave a positive impact on the planet and our loved ones when we do. With impact in mind, many consumers are looking at alternative burials as a means of reducing emissions, chemicals, and energy use after the end of life. Low-cost, minimalist services and natural burials that allow the body to decompose naturally are trending, and consumers are contemplating a range of new and emerging burial options, including “liquid cremation”, freeze-drying, or growing into a tree from an organic “burial pod”. What are the benefits and the drawbacks of alternative burials? Are they really green? How widespread are they, and how legal? Is our discomfort with alternative options simply a discomfort with the fact that we, too, will one day die? 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. @ Sudbury Theatre Centre – 170 Shaughnessy Street
