I declare that the issue of personal responsibility for global warming is reaching a critical mass. It's reaching into areas of our lives that could not be foreseen, even just 12 months ago. First the was the Crow/toilet paper plan - now a crematorium in Bath wants to reduce carbon emissions by burning more than one body at a time. This from the Guardian:
You might thing that however much pollution we cause in our lives, it stops when we pop our clogs. Not so: a crematorium in Bath is trying to reduce carbon emissions by burning bodies two at a time instead of singly. Occasionally this will mean the deceased being stored overnight, before being teamed up with another customer the following day; a procedure that is causing some disquiet among funeral directors in the genteel West Country town. In a letter to them the local council's "bereavement manager" (n really), Rosemary Tilley, said the new policy would make haycombe crematorium's two burners last longer.
