Topic:
Greening Your Burial: Bringing Natural Organic Reduction to Michigan
Synopsis:
Natural Organic Reduction (or NOR) is a process that converts human remains into soil, in a dignified, eco-friendly way. As a fossil fuel driven process, cremation produces significant amounts of carbon dioxide. One cremation is estimated to produce 535 lbs of CO2. This is the equivalent of a 609 mile car journey in an average sized car. NOR is an eco-friendly alternative that produces no greenhouse gasses and creates nutrient rich soil.
About our speakers:
Our speakers, Julie Cribley of Recycle Livingston and Lindsey Walker of Emmett County Recycling have been working to bring NOR to Michigan as well as to normalize green burials. Although Natural Organic Reduction (NOR) is only legally available in twelve states, there are a number of states moving forward to legalize the practice, including Michigan.
