I can’t decide if this is ghoulish or not
Florida company wants to use your dead body to fight climate change
A nonprofit in Florida has a unique, eco-friendly way to restore coral reefs while simultaneously providing an eternal resting place to those whose final wish is to use their remains to benefit marine habitats impacted by climate change.
Climate change has led to issues worldwide, including in oceans, where rising temperatures have resulted in the loss of coral.
Yes, because coral never ever dealt with higher temperatures nor higher seas, right?
According to a 2020 report, corals can be found in more than 100 countries. And while they cover only 0.2% of the ocean’s floor, they support at least 25% of marine life. However, rising ocean temperatures have led to the loss of 14% of global corals.
That’s where Florida-based Eternal Reefs comes in.
The company creates a reef ball with the cremated remains of a person (or pet) and drops them to the ocean floor to provide marine life with a new ecosystem.
This goes all the way back to when the founders were in college in the late 80’s
They faced challenges coming up with the design. They needed to create a design that would naturally attract marine life, withstand tidal movement and current flows, and also be able to stay put during a major storm.
It also needed to be environmentally friendly.
They eventually came up with the design, and in 1992, the Reef Ball Development Group and Reef Ball Foundation completed the first project off the coast of Ft. Lauderdale.
So, it’s environmental, which has nothing to do with anthropogenic climate change.
Eternal Reefs will bring a pre-cast reef ball to a casting site where families and friends have the opportunity to mix their loved one’s remains into the concrete to create what’s called a pearl. At that point, the pearl is placed into the reef ball, and another layer of concrete is poured on top, where it can then be decorated and personalized by family members.
Yup, they basically mix your ashes in to the concrete….say, doesn’t the climate cult say concrete is Bad?…and then drop it on the sea floor, and are taking advantage of the cult beliefs. Nice gig!
I’m good with this.
I’ve actually said that when I croak, I want my cremated ashes taken to a concrete plant and added to a load going to a bridge deck, but, with my luck, my carbon ashes would increase the loss on ignition, and the load would be rejected for failing the air test.
What do you call 1000 democrats at the bottom of the Gulf Of Mexico?
A good start.
We heard it as 10,000 Republicans at the bottom of the ocean. Must be differing audiences.
AGW are Grooming us for the apocalypse.
Leftists are grooming our children to be sexually confused.
AOC wants to be the leader of the Dems in congress and her and Jayapal are fighting it out. When AOC gets her way she will attempt to pass legislation making it legal to have sex with anything with a pulse.
Leftists are groomers because their ideas do not pass muster with normal human beings with a pulse. It is why they are losing so much ground with their biggest block of voters. Hispanics. Right behind them are women with children who are fuking fleeing the party in droves in terror.
It’s the Texas Chainsaw massacre with Freddy and Jason running the show and chucky going after our kids.
Hide the DECLINE! Hide the DECLINE!
Yes it is all so true
The world and reality that so many cling to in their brief mortal lives is ending. The more frightening changes we see the more we know our own mortal days are numbered. To be forgotten much like our Rev Kye who exists now only in his digital posts. Zeros and ones on silicone chips,soon to be forgotten by carbon based intelligence .
Will thst be the fate of all of us?
Seems like using regular concrete would be much easier and more Earth friendly. Do you know how much fossil fuel is needed to cremate someone?
But India/China/Pakistan are way ahead of us on this. They have been dumping bodies into the oceans for centuries. No need to burn them first. And all the fish get a snack. Give a fish a home and he is sheltered for a day, teach a fish to um… I forget the rest.
