It's Never too Late to Go Green

Many of us strive to live environmentally conscious lives. However, we often do not realize that we have the ability to make some of the same green decisions regarding our deaths as we have made throughout the rest of our lives - we can choose a natural, eco-friendly death. Although many may be uncomfortable thinking about or making arrangements for their own death, it makes good sense that our decisions about death be compatible with the choices we have made in life.
