By nature, I prefer cremation, but I heard recently that cremating, in some cases, pollutes more than burials. Anyone have info on this?

I think people were concerned about the mercury in older tooth fillings being burned

Does it matter? every river meets the ocean

I read that too but it was more to do with the enviromental cost of the energy used to cremate a body whether wood ,gas or electricity because it takes like 600 MJoules to turn a body into ash which is a lot of energy

which is why i hope this catches on A Liquid Nitrogen Funeral Is The Most Environmentally Friendly | Inhabitat - Sustainable Design Innovation, Eco Architecture, Green Building

The Swedish company wants to take your body, freeze it in liquid nitrogen and then shatter you into a million pieces using sound waves (this ensures you crumble into a powder). Once this is done, the powder is put into a vacuum chamber where all water within it boils instantly. This reduces the powder’s mass by 70% – this is quite a lot considering it still weights the same as a body. What is left is organic residue along with any medical devices you might have had implanted in you (such as pacemakers). These are separated out and the powder is sterilized. Your powder is then placed in a cornstarch coffin which allow the remains to turn into compost within a year and half. Simple!

No more taking up space when you're dead. I pass by graveyards and see selfishness.

Just something I was thinking about today :ehh:

They're going to need an oven the size of the white house to cremate your fat azz, mec00nic. Let's not talk about all of the gas and clean up resources from the grease you will output.

Bum azz...

I'm just thankful you turn your relatives into tamale meat. If u buried all of them, southern cali would cease to exist.

U just gonna have a lawn mower at your funeral anyways. Nobody likes u. You.re a disappointment to your family and race.

I hope your Datsun fails its next smog check.

do you know how much land we have that's not being utilized? I can think of some ol I dont know, Wyoming, Idaho, Dakotas, Nevada. We choose to live on top of each other, when in actuality we're no where near max capacity. we could actually triple the size of our population and be alright land wise. It's energy that is an issue. We use lots of it.

The problem is arable land ..Most cemeteries are in places that would be suitable for agriculture

i live in brooklyn and have a SMALL backyard.

i grow:

Lettuce
potatoes
figs
peppers
tomatoes
herbs / spices...etc.


if the rooftops of NYC where used to collect solar power, water, and grow food...it would be a wrap.


mad jobs, mad energy, mad food, mad anal sex...

that's what's up. I know some folks that do that in San Fran too. :obama:

but yea I'm talking about mass production. I just find it funny people are talking about no space. I take it nikkas have not driven across the U.S, because if you have, you'd know there's a whole fukking lot of nothing. might wanna take a look at a map, I don't think we even populate 10% of the country yet (7%). LOL. The vast majority of it is farming, and the other half is wasteland like Nevada, New Mexico and Utah where we conduct tests and it's pretty much no mans land...those types of areas technically should be where our burial is.

But to say we need to resort to cremation because it takes up space is comedic. It's like lying in your bed and saying you don't have enough space as if you don't have an entire house.
