DoomsdaysCW<p>So yes, I covered quite a few topics today -- including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Humanure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Humanure</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenBurial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GreenBurial</span></a> -- because... Well, defecation and death are part of life. I hope to cover more <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Permaculture</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gardening</span></a> articles next week, since it's a good time to start planning one's garden. And also places to purchase seeds (though <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SeedLibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeedLibraries</span></a> are better, they may not have everything... Yet!). And of course, more <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunk</span></a> articles to inspire us in 2025!

Nick Dunkenstein<p>Today i learned that more than 10 states have passed bills to pass the Natural Organic reduction legislation, which is a positive for human composting/ green / natural burials. NJ is the next state that people are looking into for this bill, so if youre in that area you should sign up with The Order of The Good Death's newsletter and see how you can help out! <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdqiZUHbPam8YiWRZadNDfdpfd5BguEkQu5rD0A0quKhPAUxw/viewform?_hsmi=312344473" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI</span><span class="invisible">pQLSdqiZUHbPam8YiWRZadNDfdpfd5BguEkQu5rD0A0quKhPAUxw/viewform?_hsmi=312344473</span></a><br><a href="https://c.im/tags/deathpositive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deathpositive</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Humancomposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Humancomposting</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Greenburial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Greenburial</span></a></p>

Hari Tulsidas<p>Human composting, a process that turns human remains into soil, is a final gift to the Earth that some people choose for their end-of-life plans. Legal in several US states, the process involves placing the body in a vessel with organic materials that foster decomposition by microbes. The resulting soil can nourish plants and trees, creating a memorial for the deceased and reducing the environmental impact.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/HumanComposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumanComposting</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/GreenBurial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GreenBurial</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/EarthDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EarthDay</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.bigissue.com/news/environment/earth-day-human-composting-a-final-gift-to-the-earth/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bigissue.com/news/environment/</span><span class="invisible">earth-day-human-composting-a-final-gift-to-the-earth/</span></a></p>
