Being buried in a forest sounds great, beatiful.......but im not sure how many ppl would want their loved ones to be buried in a CARDBOARD BOX with the tape and writings on it and everything.

Good Magazine is kind of biased.

Death industries aren't out of control, it is just a direct critism given from eviromentalist on how it should be run.

I think I'll donate some of my organs to hospitals (not research) and then become a tree. XD Thanks for making this video!
