What it Is:
We have been seeing in recent months a drive towards a more eco-friendly death business with the advent of biodegradable coffins, eco-cementaries, green burials etc.

Why it's cool:
Taking your environmental concerns to the last frontier is a consequent, last gesture. Your last check out should be green as well.
Science of the Time’s interpretation:
Many of our Trend Filters report an intense concern about the Environmental Issue from their part of the world. Including the search for creative and innovative strategies to fight the problem. See Matsume Kai’s contribution about the Chinese island of Dongtan city. Or the Environmental Fun 2.0 of superuse.org. Eco-dying is showing the cool depths – six feet under – of the eco trend. Green to the end. The committed concern is worldwide.
