PNWguy Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 http://mynorthwest.com/1245928/washington-legislature-human-composting/ In the ever increasing stamped to the left and Californication of the West coast, Washington state is considering a bill to allow the option of "composting" of human remains. Apparently, burial and cremation are too taxing on our planet's resources and you're now not eco-friendly if you want to honor your loved ones through traditional means... “Recomposition is natural and sustainable. It provides significant savings in carbon emissions, which is especially important because Washington State has the highest rate of cremation in the country at 76 percent,” Spade told the committee. “But cremation requires fossil fuels and has significant carbon dioxide emissions. Recomposition uses one-eighth the energy of cremation and saves over a metric ton of carbon dioxide per person who chooses it,” she added. “It’s important to share the incredible relief to her and her family and her friends to know that she could literally become soil. That in dying, she would not be forced to pollute the planet any further,” Morgan said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARP Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Wow, whose house is going to be downwind of the compost pile? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWguy Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Now, I really don't see any moral reasons not to dispose of human remains in a more environmentally friendly way. Biblically speaking, the body is just a vessel and after death it is nothing more than carbon. It's just that this is being proposed by leftists that make me suspicious of the real intentions behind it. Leftists have no regard for the sanctity of human life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I always liked the idea of putting you in a hole in a special spot and planting a tree on top of you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I've gotten my friends to commit to giving me a huge blazing, floating, Viking funeral, with copiously flowing mead and grog. Whether they do, or not, who knows. I've already jinxed people by telling them that I'm pretty much coming back and they know it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrB Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I've always said to folks when I die just roll my carcass over the hill into the valley below my house and let the buzzards feed on me. The gotta eat. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Mrs. G's plan is to put me in double trash bags and drop me off in the WalMart parking lot. She said she'd wait til I'm dead, but sometimes she looks at me like she's making estimates... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that works for me. You can sanctify life all you want but go dig someone up that has been buried for 50 years and tell me that isn't nasty. Composting is fine with me as long as it is sanitary and doesn't stink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the Mafia also uses concrete for disposal burial purposes. They need to make up their minds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Soldier Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Try disturbing graves of Native Americans. That will get you time in a Federal Prison. It is not unusual for victims of a homicide to be dumped in field or forest. Now a murderer could claim he was legally disposing of human remains. The Bible does not say how your remains "Must", be disposed of. Spoiler Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minervadoe Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I guess that way Grandma can always be in her garden. This creeps me out a little. Quote recomposition. “That involves placing a body in a vessel along with a bunch of organic material, then applying some heat and some air to it, and that accelerates the process of breaking down the body so that within about a month the body and organic material are reduced to soil,” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Cicero Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I don't have a problem with this. You can bury me, cremate me, stick my corpse (in whatever form) in a rocket ship and blast it into the sun, "bury" me at sea, or donate my body to science. Whatever. After I'm dead, I won't care. I'm not coming back to haunt anyone over how they chose to dispose of my body. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTMac Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) I don't particularly care what happens to my body... But I know what happens to people that get put into a box. It is a nasty process. God bless the morticians who do it, but if I can't imagine doing that to a loved one then I don't want my death to be an excuse to do the same. More than that, I don't want to be wasted. All those chemicals and all that wood preventing decomposition... And all that money! What a waste. Even cremation is a waste unless someone is using the heat for something other than just sending thermal energy into space. Plant food, buzzard food, worm food or fish food... That is the ideal.

AK_Stick Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I plan on being cremated, my ashes mixed with those of my pups who’ve passed away, and my unit will dump my ashes out at about a thousand feet over my favorite hunting grounds. No need to take up space or dig up dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
