I just want to be tossed in the woods and let nature do its course. No embalming, no wasting my ATP with cremation…

What better legacy than to let your body feed into a food web, and have your energy continually transfered between organisms?

Naturally recycling our bodies is kind of a beautiful process of energy exchange, and I think it should be celebrated instead of being so uncomfortable with death as a society that we want to spend all this unnecessary time and money trying to preserve a dead body and sealing it in concrete tomb. It’s just dumb…

I just want to be scavenged and fertilize the damn soil. Just toss my limp ass in the woods when I’m dead.
