A crematorium in Yunnan, China has only been partially burning the bodies, then putting the remains in plastic bags and dumping them on the roadside. However, the locals noticed the fetidity, a stench coming from those bags. And they've now been ordered to completely cremate those bodies. They were trying to save on diesel fuel. Now regarding cremation, a scientist down in Australia says that it is definitely eco-unfriendly. That each cremation contributes approximately a hundred and ten pounds of CO2 to the atmosphere, promoting global warming. He suggests instead, that you be buried in a cardboard box placed under a tree. And as your body deteriorates it will provide nutrients for the tree, which will then draw down CO2, combating global warming. And in Birmingham, England there is a crematorium that's beside a part of a church actually. And it's been very cold there this winter, so they've opened the doors so that the heat from the cremation process is actually warming up the mourners. How about that?
