minertone   10 #1 Posted September 27, 2021 Here's an idea. With the proposed planting of millions of trees how about combining this with natural burials? Less pollution than cremation, body bags made from re-cycled plastic would save on other materials used for coffins, everyone could walk or cycle to the venue and the responsibility for getting the star of the show to the grave side could be handed to Deliveroo with a suitable trailer attached to their bikes. If the planet does survive then a walk in the woods, in 20 years time could take on a whole new meaning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

trastrick   866 #3 Posted September 28, 2021 Planting a tree is a really good idea. No downside.  I've planted a few in my time. Thanks to Google Streetview, I can see how my babies are doing.  Next time somebody is whinging about "climate change", ask 'em how many trees they've planted.

On a Job Creation scheme 45 years ago we planted over 10,000 saplings and laid several hundred yards of fencing over the old landfill site at Warren Vale in Rawmarsh: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rawmarsh/@53.473152,-1.3373246,501m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x487976af12a38d6d:0x9e13cf114d434cf4!8m2!3d53.4616366!4d-1.3442806 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
