Want to save the Earth and save some money? You may be able to do both depending on your willingness to embrace an ancient practice – natural burial!
Fox 4 spent some time exploring “green burial” at an eco-friendly cemetery in Pasco County – just north of the Tampa Bay area.
It’s called Heartwood Preserve. Executive director Laura Starkey says it is a “conservation cemetery” and it leaves out the potential pollutants that conventional burials can put into the earth.
“There’s the amount of concrete vinyl and metal and plastics that go into vaults and big caskets,” she says. “We don’t need to put things in the earth we don’t need to be there.”
