The announcement made me realise, however, that many of you might be interested in a committee on which I am presently serving. The "Green Burial Working Group" of the Nova Scotia Memorial Society is seeking to provide Nova Scotians with alternatives which are kinder to our environment than typical burial practices: 1: interment without embalming 2: non-polluting containers 3: park or forest landscaping without standing markers We are currently compiling a list of Cemeteries and Funeral Services which are able and willing to accommodate these desires. Our long-term goal is to see the establishment of a Cemetery which is dedicated exclusively to "green" practices. If any of you are interested in joining this effort or keeping apprised of our findings, please contact me off-list. Jane Schlosberg p.s. You may not have given thought to this, but cremation uses a huge amount of combustible material and also puts considerable pollutants in the air, particularly if the body has been embalmed and teeth with mercury fillings have not been removed prior to. We have been informed that no Nova Scotia crematoria have filters on their stacks to mitigate this problem. ------=_NextPart_000_0025_01C8E291.D3789710 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.6000.16674" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#0000ff size=3D2><SPAN = class=3D453302316-10072008>This=20 is not actually about David Sergeant's death, as I did not know = him. =20 </SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#0000ff size=3D2><SPAN = class=3D453302316-10072008>The=20 announcement made me realise, however, that many of you might be = interested in a=20 committee on which I am presently serving.
