Do Crematoriums add to global warming and if so, would Taxidermy be a more environmentally friendly option?

Question

Also, a good security device when you go away on holiday!

Answer 1

Crematoriums generally don't produce very much air pollution. In a air pollution study we did for an old crematorium we found the emissions were equivelent to running a small diesal van.

Digging a grave would probably release just as must co2, as for taxidermy, I dont know, but I would imagine the processes envolved would involve co2 production.

As climate change is primarily driven by natural processes, crematoriums are unlikely to contribute to any warming other than locally due to the heat generated.

How about some soylant green instead?

Answer 2

excellent suggestion-I would love to continue in that way.It would be great if I could have a martyred expression on my face to make everyone feel guilty forever--hahahahahhaaaaaa

Answer 3

Actually taxidermy done by the usual methods add alot of chemicals to the ground water the freezedrying seems to be the best bet for the future

Answer 4

Get stuffed!

Answer 5

Don't you think the planet is crowded enough without a load of stuffed bodies hanging about? Just imagine your house with granny, grandad x 2 mum, dad etc etc ....................

Answer 6

I buried my dad under the rhubarb patch, he's been making jam for the last eight years; that's the environmentally friendly option :0)

Answer 9

taxidermy only uses the outer skin ,thats why they are known as stuffed The bodies are still disposed of , could be used as pet food .

Answer 10

can you imagine after 50 years of stuffed people instead of buried or cremated, after a few hundred years there'd be more stuffed than alive

Answer 11

Mr Tumnus, are you seriously suggesting we all get stuffed?

Answer 12

yes cremation is now regarded as  environmentally unfriendly.

in japan for example where ground space is short for burial's and cremation not a good idea. storage  in specially built 'flats' for bodies  is becoming popular.

a new idea is to dry freeze ( liquid nitrogen) an then vibrate the frozen body  so it shatters into very small fragments like dust for disposal.

  a suggestion to recycle the body has met with resistance but will be more acceptable In say 50 years time.
