Biodegradable Coffins 1
This July, when Jorgi Wu was laid to rest in central California, she became the first American to be buried in an Ecopod – a 100 percent biodegradable coffin made of recycled paper. The seedpod-shaped coffin is designed to be planted in the ground, dissolve and replenish the earth with its nutrient-rich contents. Who needs embalming, cement vaults or herbicide-based lawn care?
