The major problem - one of the many major problems with governing people is that of who you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

TreeHugger points to the Ecopod, a biodegradable coffin for the green conscious dead guy. Here's a link to the actual company.



This is a great idea. I've said many times that I wanted to be cremated or (though it's not legal in the US) buried naturally so that my body can do what it's meant to do when something dies - decompose and produce nutrients for other living things. "Circle of life, man." It just makes sense, and this obsession our culture has with not wanting dead bodies to decompose in the ground is obviously due to the onslaught of Christianity, whether we'll admit that's the reason or not. When something dies, it's supposed to return to the Earth, and no amount of praying is going to keep a dead body from decomposing so that it can get up and walk with Christ once he returns, ok?

Anyway, this is a viable alternative so that you don't have to be cremated but can still return to that from whence you came. The coffin is made from 100% recycled paper, based on the shape of a seed Pod with its natural organic form. The coffin will biodegrade along with your body and allow nature to take its course, rather than keeping you holed up in a pine box that never allows you to replenish the soil around you.

To those close to me, I know this is a difficult thing to think about for some people, but when I die I would like to either be cremated or placed in a container such as this.
