Original article found here: https://www.inverse.com/article/55322-human-composting-washington-recomposition Washington has become the first state to make human composting official- this is a big environmental victory that I think will catch on elsewhere. Katrina Spade, founder of Recompose, is poised to have the first public recomposition facility when this law takes effect in May 2020. Can't wait! Setting bodies on fire is irresponsible and impractical, while composting bodies makes perfect sense. It's by far the most environmentally sound way to process a body- no combustion, next to no emissions, and a hefty contribution of healthy soil... apparently two wheelbarrows of compost per person. Which would you prefer? Set on fire or left to decompose naturally into soil?
