🌱 Human Composting
Natural organic reduction — body to soil in 30–45 days
How it works
The body is placed in a reusable vessel along with wood chips, alfalfa, and straw. Over 30–45 days, microbes break down the body into nutrient-rich soil.
Why choose it
Human composting saves an estimated one metric ton of carbon per person compared to conventional burial or cremation.
Considerations
Currently available in a limited but growing number of states.
