What happens to our bodies after death can have environmental and social benefits for those left behind in the form of land conservation and carbon sequestration, spiritual and emotional reintegration, and strengthening of community. Natural burial is a climate strategy that everyone can plan for and act on in the here and now by creating burial spaces free from toxic materials and that protect land for new modes of public use for the future. These spaces are designed for the living, changing our relationship with death in fundamental, healing ways. We’ll take a look at what green burial is (and isn’t) and how our lives, in the end, can contribute to the wellbeing of others and the planet.

Lee Webster is a public speaker, author, and educator on funeral reform, former nonprofit leader of the Green Burial Council, Conservation Burial Alliance, National Home Funeral Alliance, National End-of-Life Doula Alliance, and director of NH and VT Funeral Resources & Education.

This webinar will be co-sponsored by the NH Network for Environment, Energy and Climate.
