Sleep with the fishes
Add yet another option to January's Green deathmatch: burial vs. cremation. An eco-burial at sea is now available. And no...it's doesn't require walking the plank. Brilliant/oddball company Eternal Reefs has brought together the best of both afterlife options for around a decade; instead of scattering your ashes at sea, Eternal Reefs will fold them directly into a concrete "memorial reef."
These structures have been carefully engineered, claims the website, to, "replicate the natural marine environment," and to foster the development of coral life. The reefs are intended to weather fierce ocean storms, and they're built to last (for around 500 years).
This year, according to Matternetwork.com, community reefs will be launched off the coasts of Florida, New Jersey, Maryland and South Carolina.
