APRIL 22 - EARTH day

Tuesday, April 22, 2008

 

We’re celebrating Earth Day today—April 22! Maybe time for us to reflect on the sins we’ve caused abuse to mother earth. I know there are still people concerned. They still think of our environment’s condition (thank God!).

I have an this article on the Philippine Star yesterday which talked about “Green Death” I mean, things considered for a burial is made up of environment-friendly materials like cardboard as a coffin and clothes made up of plant fibers. They also don’t use formaldehyde to embalm the dead body instead, the use of refrigeration or dry ice is considered for the process. Weird? Yes, kind of. But it just shows that people may think of a better way than to stick on to the convention. Oh, I forgot to tell you that before using the coffin made up of cardboard, you should first consider the place of burial; I mean the soil where you are planning to bury the dead because obviously it’s not pleasant to see the coffin with a dead body collapse because it’s wet. Right? And if you’re thinking of the budget, like the usual burial, there are funeral parlors which are of high prices and also there are still which has reasonable prices.

I just hope those innovations would also be here in the Philippines cause it’s still at London. J Happy MOURNING! :-p
