The Dhaka Times Desk The US state of Washington has approved a law allowing the composting of human bodies.
It is known that according to this law, from now on, anyone after his death will be able to mix the dead body with soil and give instructions to make compost. It is much like organ donation after death.
This method is seen as an alternative to traditional burial. It is also thought to be an alternative solution, especially in cities where there is a shortage of cemeteries or reburials.
According to a published news, after mixing the dead body with the soil and turning it into manure, the soil will be given to the loved ones. That they can plant flowers, vegetable seedlings or trees in it!
The bill has already become law after Washington State Governor Jay Inslee recently signed it into law. Katrina Spud, who campaigned for the bill, told AFP that such an alternative to burial would be natural, safe and permanent. It will play a major role in reducing land use and carbon emissions in the world.
He has also formed a company to assist in this type of work. Katrina Spud also said that inside a steel box with 6 corners, a kind of plant-which basically grows around the animal body, the dead bodies will be kept with pieces of wood and straw.
Then that box will be closed. Within the next 30 days, the dead body will naturally decompose and turn into soil. It is mentioned in the news that such burials are becoming more and more popular day by day. Earlier this month, the late actor Luke Perry was laid to rest in a mushroom suite in California.
Jay Rhyme Lee, creator of the suite, said that when a body is buried in the ground or cremated, the toxic gases released into the atmosphere by the process will also be greatly reduced.
The process of turning human corpses into manure is already legalized in Sweden. Natural burial without a box or coffin is legal in the UK. However, in several religions, there is a rule of burying the dead without any box or artificial equipment after death.
