Oddbean new post about login | logout #TIL that human composting is being offered in some states in the US, as a more eco-friendly alternative to cremation and burial: https://piped.video/watch?v=KDYcdrjVn2k I wonder if it's legal in #NZ and if anyone is doing it here? #Aotearoa #HumanComposting
Human composting involves less chemicals and material waste than traditional burial. Unlike 'natural burials', it doesn't take up dedicated space, which matters in a country with limited land space. It's got to be more compatible with tikanga Māori than cremation. But I guess how tika it is depends on what's done with the resulting compost.
