Compost Or A Tree? We’re Running Out Of Room To Bury The Dead


Listen Later

Have you thought about what you want to happen to your body after you die? 

There's plenty of options for you, from cremation to burial, you can even become a tree if that's what you wish. 

China is now running out of land for cemeteries and turning to burials at sea - but just how environmentally friendly is this? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the most environmentally efficient ways to deal with our earthly remains after we pass, while also not just shifting the eco damage somewhere else.
