Cremation is a serious waste? Animals will return to nature after death. Why do humans break the laws of nature?

Death is the fate that every individual cannot escape, including human beings with advanced technology. Before the emergence of human civilization, after the death of human beings, the remains will re-enter the ecological chain, such as: sky burial, scavenger vultures will come to destroy human remains, and then leave the remains that are difficult to destroy for people to bury, these remains will be buried again after burial Decomposed by the decomposer, the energy is reused.

Funeral methods such as sky burial and earth burial have continued at every stage of human evolution, and can be said to be the most in line with natural laws.

The emergence of cremation has made human remains no longer used by scavengers and decomposers, resulting in a waste of energy. Not only that, cremation wastes a lot of fuel and burns remains and emits a lot of greenhouse gases. In the current global warming, cremation is not an environmentally friendly funeral method.

Since cremation is not environmentally friendly, why do we perform cremation?

Why cremation?

The first thing I have to say is that cremation has irreplaceable benefits. For example: the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in India, we have seen many reports in the news that with the death of a large number of Indians, the local crematorium is busy, and even the Some parks have been converted into crematoriums, while others allow people to burn the remains of Covid-19 patients at home.

Due to the shortage of fuel such as firewood and gasoline, the remains of some funeral homes have also started to line up, and the cost of cremation has become high, causing some people to sneak the remains of new crown patients into the Ganges River. Indian authorities had to salvage the remains and bury them.

The reason why the remains of the new crown patient must be cremated is because the new crown virus is a contagious disease. If the remains of the new crown patient are buried directly, it may cause the new crown virus to survive in the local soil for a long time. Continue to threaten. people's health.

During cremation, the virus carried by the new crown patient will be eliminated, thereby eliminating the possibility of infection. Therefore, not only the new crown patient, but the remains of many infectious diseases must be cremated.

Furthermore, the advantage of cremation is that it does not occupy arable land. In my country, burial will occupy part of the cultivated land, which will make it difficult to use the cultivated land for a long time. However, because of the large population in our country, the cultivated land resources are already very scarce, so the use of cremation is conducive to alleviating this contradiction.

Is cremation against the laws of nature?

Before we understand cremation, let's understand the flow of energy in nature.

In nature, bison feed on plants, and they will eat large amounts of plants every day and obtain energy from these plants. Tigers are carnivores, they rarely eat plants, but get their energy from cattle. After the tigers die, their remains will be eaten by scavengers such as vultures and brown hyenas, and the leftover bones will become food for the decomposers, and the decomposed products of the decomposers will become fertilizers for plants, nourishing growth of plants. From plants to cattle to tigers, vultures, brown hyenas and bacteria, energy flows along the ecological chain.

​​

A large amount of energy is also stored in the human body. According to the laws of nature, after the death of human beings, the energy carried in the remains is either obtained by scavengers or decomposed by decomposers.

The emergence of cremation wastes the energy stored by the human body. Not only that, but also firewood or gasoline is needed to support combustion during the cremation process, resulting in great waste. In the process of burning, a large amount of carbon dioxide will be produced, which will damage the environment.

Therefore, some people also believe that comprehensive cremation will lead to aggravation of the global greenhouse effect. In foreign countries, some companies have begun to try to launch environmentally friendly funeral services.

Environmentally friendly funeral

In fact, environmentally friendly funerals are a process of natural corruption. Nowadays, there are many ways of environmentally friendly funerals, such as: sea burial, sky burial, tree burial, human compost, human mushrooms, etc.

Let’s talk about human composting first. A company in the United States has launched a human composting project. When a person dies, the human remains will be placed in a fixed container, and a large amount of sawdust, hay, etc. will be placed in the container, and the corresponding microorganisms will be sown. The container is placed under the appropriate temperature and humidity.

Microorganisms will decompose the organic matter in the human body, and the decomposed human remains will be turned into soil, and these soils can be used as plant compost, and family members can bury the soil under a tree for tree burial, or use it Come to plant flowers and practice flower burial.

​​

Human mushrooms are similar to human composting. The corresponding microorganisms are put into human remains, and then put into a specific container, and the fungi are allowed to grow into mushrooms. Although these mushrooms cannot be eaten by humans, these mushrooms will be eaten by humans. Other organisms feed or are decomposed and re-enter the ecological chain.

However, it should be noted that although environmentally friendly funerals can save soil and are beneficial to the environment, limited by people's inherent thinking, very few people can accept environmentally friendly funerals today, and it is not a mainstream funeral project.

On the other hand, although cremation is not environmentally friendly, cremation is the cheapest and most effective way of burial in the face of infectious disease patients, so it will still exist in the human world for a long time.
