The Washington Standard
Don King used to say, “Only in America.” Forget it, it’s “Only in California.”
California has legalized a burial process known as “human composting,” which advocates say will help cut down on the carbon footprint of funerals.
Only in California can you be murdered by a junkie and then be composted and have your remains used to grow marijuana in. Don’t worry, it’s for the planet.
Assembly Bill 351, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday, will allow residents to choose human composting, or natural organic reduction (NOR), after death starting in 2027.
The process of composting a cadaver, already legalized in Washington, Colorado and Oregon, involves placing the body in a reusable container, surrounding it with wood chips and aerating it to let microbes and bacteria grow. After about a month, the remains will decompose and be fully transformed into soil.
As with the Left, options quickly become mandates. Before long there’ll be human composting mandates.
For the planet.
