Recycling for a Proffitt
Mon July 28th, 2008 17:42 MSTFrom National Geographic…
Death…is bad for the environment… toxic… [err.. they told us living was]. An alternative is the green burial movement. [blah] biodegradable [blah] [buried in] land uncluttered by headstones…
Brenda Proffitt…recently bought plots in a green cemetery… “I pretty much live by the reduce, reuse, recycle mantra,” Proffitt says. She likes the idea of returning to ancient, no-frills burial traditions…
Ah, no frills traditions like, say, Egyptian pyramids? That’s pretty ancient. Celtic burial mounds? Inca sacrificial burial pits?
At least she’s going to have sacred words spoken over her:
biodegradable
uncluttered
no-frills
recycle
reuse
It appears that terminal ignorance is a requirement for those of the greenish persuasion.
“An alternative is the green burial movement.”
Now, we know the genesis for soylent green.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green
Soylent Green is a 1973 dystopian science fiction movie depicting a future in which the greenhouse gas effect results in severe damage to the environment. This leads to widespread unemployment and poverty. Real fruit, vegetables, and meat are rare, commodities are expensive, and much of the population survives on processed food rations, including “soylent green” wafers.
…Thorn sneaks into the basement of the euthanasia facility, where he sees corpses being loaded onto waste disposal trucks. He secretly hitches a ride on one of the trucks, which drives to a heavily guarded waste disposal plant. Once inside the plant, Thorn sees how the corpses are processed into Soylent Green wafers.
