Bad burying habits

We could visit a graveyard and take a walk in the woods at the same time, if we only changed our burying habits.

Maybe we should simply wrap the loved one in a beautiful cloth: no coffin, then with a simple sacred ceremony bury the body and plant a special tree of choice — apple, pear, chestnut, cherry, etc.

One can see the tree grow through the years knowing it’s also a gift to future generations. It can be one of many ways we can change the way we do things to help counteract global warming.

There is a real urgency to change now.
