Ep: 083 - A New Kind of Compost

ENVIRONMENTALLY SPEAKING

This week we are talking about composting of the last variety.

What happens you your body after death? Some people are buried in a cemetery, some cremated. What if you could compost your body? Take a listen as we talk about a new bill, 6045 as it relates to funeral director slash embalmer and funeral service establishments. The reason that this proposed bill is being cited under that particular chapter of Rhode Island law is because it is proposing to amend existing funeral service type statute to include natural organic reduction.

We will cover some of the many benefits this new found process and share some examples of places already doing it.

Take a listen.
