KLICKITAT COUNTY, Wash. (KOIN) — Walt Patrick slowly rolls a giant wooden spool-shaped cradle back and forth. Inside, a human body is gradually being turned into compost, one of the first licensed “natural organic reductions” to be performed in the entire country.
“This is simply another option at a time when people feel they have no options,” Patrick said. “You know, death has intervened and changed your life forever. How can you do something at least to make it the way you want?”
Patrick is the senior steward at Herland Forest, a natural burial cemetery and nonprofit research center located north of the Columbia River Gorge in Klickitat County. Natural organic reduction (NOR) has given them a second way to return bodies to the land.
It is the only thing liberals are good for.
In before the Soylent Green references....
Soylent Green is people.
Just barely. Lol
And perhaps some have made its way into the food supply. . .humans’ and pets’.
Same thing happens in a burial without coffins, just more gradually and less hands on.
And I like my garden, but not that much...
What do they think happens when you are dropped right into the ground? Not in a hermetically sealed metal box...but when they just drop you in a shallow grave....in the woods...at night....with a lot of quicklime?

Can any good thing come out of Klickitat county?
Ok, that gave me the laugh that I really needed.
Thanks.
You beat me.
It was the first thing I thought of.
It’s a cookbook!
Hope none of those were baptized.
The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and by grace God resided with the entire person who lived. It is not a piece of garbage.
1 Corinthians 6:17-20
And
What if it is a Covid death?
99% of them are these days.
So Christians don’t decay and rot?
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, doesn’t apply to us?
LOL.
I never realized getting buried might spread covid to the trees.
I knew the ocean has waves that cough at you
We all need to stay safe alone, and as far away from nature as we can
This is absolutely disgusting. Will we now have to ask our ranches and farms if they are using this for their products? Grown in Washington will deserve boycott shortly.
That’ll come in handy when TSHTF.
