Work was supposed to be closed today, but the owners' office decided we needed to be open.

I hope they didn't consider it a threat when I said, "Sorry, I already have plans and can't come in; I'm attending a seminar on #HumanComposting that day."

Should I tell them it's an #EcoBurial workshop, or let them assume I'm a prospective serial killer?

I think we can all agree we should make the best use of our natural resources; every year 4M acres of forest hardwoods, 2.7k tons of copper n brass, 105K tons of steel 1600K tons of concrete are BURIED along with 800K gallons of poisonous Formaldehyde DUMPED INTO #MOTHEREARTH. This is wasteful harmful and only getting worse. But how cool is this bamboo casket? Do Not #embalm me! Or you can be a tree seed pod? #green #ecoburial Or part of a permanent ocean reef? Let's get creative with our dead!
