Green Burial made Concrete

I ran across this blog posting today and I have to share it. The writer phrased the importance of Green Cemeteries is a very concrete way.  Click here to read the whole posting.

This is right in the middle of Chicago and there are eight cemeteries, and just look at the size of Rosehill! Imagine if all that land was filled with parks, or wetlands, or gardens, but no, it’s filled with dead people and really expensive exotic wood caskets. I do concede that this land is usually open and you can walk around freely, but how often do you go there? And how usable is the land with all those mausoleums? Thinking about kicking around the soccer ball? Forget it, it will puncture! Also watch out for security! In addition to all this there’s a huge environmental impact.
