California just legalized 'human composting.' Not everyone is happy.

There are traditionally two options for what to do with a body after death: burial or cremation.

In California, a third choice will soon present itself for those who shuffle off this mortal coil. That choice is human composting.

The process of composting a cadaver, already legalized in Washington, Colorado and Oregon, involves placing the body in a reusable container, surrounding it with wood chips and aerating it to let microbes and bacteria grow. After about a month, the remains will decompose and be fully transformed into soil. Companies such as Recompose in Washington offer the service at a natural organic reduction facility.

Unlike cremation, the process avoids the burning of fossil fuels and emission of carbon monoxide. National Geographic estimates that cremations in the U.S. alone emit about 360,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide a year



Assembly Bill 351, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday, will allow residents to choose human composting, or natural organic reduction (NOR), after death starting in 2027

fuck climate change and those who profits from this scam. they want to reduce you to zero

So what happens to the bones? No way they are gone in a month.

It's freaky but no real difference that cremation when you know how cremation really works.

Odds are they get put in the chipper.

some of the larger bones, which are mostly hollow and brittle, may still be intact but they will degrade easily once the cured compost is applied to land.

If you do it right the bones turn to dust too.

During the early depths of the coronavirus pandemic, when funeral homes were inundated...

I'd like to see the numbers on this. Otherwise it's just propaganda meant to reinforce a lie.

You still trust the numbers?

So why not do the Nepal thing and just let your dead be ripped apart by vultures?

Same shit as being eaten by worms and no fucking jew soil making company (oy vey muh soap and lamp shades projection) gets a cut.

I just want to be buried in a shroud. No pomp or circumstance, no stupid box or some square plot. Under a tree maybe. I want my body to complete the cycle nature intended. I see no problem with someone wanting this.

Garcia added that she herself may choose the method when she passes away. "I look forward to continuing my legacy to fight for clean air by using my reduced remains to plant a tree," she wrote.
LOL

All she will get is niggers pissing on it and junkies sticking needels in the soil.

I feel like someone got tired of potentially successful investigations into murder and got creative.

Okay but I really like Ask A Mortician on YouTube and have been following this story casually for years purely from her talking about it. I think it's cool but California's law is shitty, use the dirt at home but spreading it in public and using it to grow food is weird (yes I think spreading ashes in public is weird too, as is keeping an urn.)

Anyway here is her main video on it:

I look forward to watching her update video I presume is coming.

They did this in Ausschwitz with the 100 million Jews. That's why there are no mass graves!

Oy vey goyim, don't you know how anti-semitic it is to treat jewish bodies like compost? Only goyim bodies are supposed to rot and return to the earth, jew bodies must be kept whole to await the jew god's return!
