Forget cremation. Compost your dead body instead!

compost

Seattle-based Urban Death Project thinks it would be a good idea to reduce your carbon footprint and compost your body. They have a Kickstarter project to make it happen. Your body would turn into nutrient rich soil and instead of a traditional headstone, family members could plant a memorial tree or garden in honor of the deceased. Maybe some tomato plants? Then you could make that famous salsa of yours and enter it into the county fair contest. People would throw blue ribbons at you until they found our your secret ingredient was grandma!
