My friend Dan once composted a dead sheep on his compost heap. He was impressed with the results and said that there was virtually no sign of it when he later emptied it out onto the garden. As he sadly approaches the latter years of his own life, he often says that he wishes it was legal for his own body to be thrown on the compost heap.
Excellent post Tom! I really love this article and have just enjoyed listening to your audio version.
Here's a challenge; you write so well on tricky topics and you've now covered death, how about sex and money!?
This is such a great article. I loved reading it .. makes so much sense. We need to talk about death prep more for sure.
Thanks Sharon, I agree that it's a strangely taboo topic that needs to be more out in the open.
Ha, thanks Chris. Nice challenge! You've given me some food for thought here.
On the money topic, while its not so specifically looking at the personal side of money, this post on the monetary system is one of my personal favourites - https://tomgreenwood.substack.com/p/is-money-inflating-the-climate-crisis
