Colorado is getting really down to earth.<\/p>\n
The state is close to legalizing human composting, according to the Denver Post.<\/p>\n
A bill, which has already passed in one legislative chamber, would allow people to opt to have their remains converted to soil through the “natural reduction” burying method.<\/p>\n
The process involves placing the body into a “cradle,” and then another vessel, along with wood chips, alfalfa and straw. Each body ultimately creates a few hundred pounds of soil.<\/p>\n
The practice is cited as more environmentally friendly than cremation or burial.<\/p>\n
Colorado would become the second state in the nation after Washington to make the process legal.<\/p>\n
The Centennial State’s bill does not allow for the soil to be used to grow food for human consumption. <\/p>\n
It also bars sales of the product and prohibits combining the soil of multiple people without consent.<\/p>\n
