Eco-Friendly Burial Sites

They say you can't take it with you. Unless, of course, "it" is environmental lunacy. That you can take.

When he died in a traffic accident last year, Mr. Odom, 41, became the first of 40 people at Fernwood cemetery to move on to greener pastures - literally. He was buried un-embalmed in a biodegradable pine coffin painted with daisies and rainbows, his soul marked by prairie grasses instead of a granite colossus.

What the heck is "biodegradable pine?" Isn't all wood biodegradable? Heck, even preservative treated wood rots eventually. And by the way, when thay biodegradable pine biodegrades, you know what you're going to be left with? A coffin-sized sinkhole in the middle of your precious meadow.

I intended to add a little analysis of the article, but it is too much. Paragraph after paragraph of moonbat lunacy. Competing theories of just what constitutes "true" eco-friendly burial, burial shrouds made of anti-Bush t-shirts and hemp, recycled newspaper sarcophagi and "little boutique cemeteries with a social justice component." Was this stuff covered at Kyoto?
