Democrat-controlled California has legalized the practice of composting human remains in order to “save the planet” from “climate change.”
State lawmakers have already voted and passed the measure to legalize the process.
The new laws come into effect in 2027, allowing liberal California residents to continue virtue signaling about “fighting global warming” even after they die.
However, some of California’s eco-warrior residents are not willing to wait that long.
The Los Angeles Times wrote about California resident Blaire Van Valkenburgh being one of a growing number of residents who are already composting the remains of their loved ones.
“But this kind of burial โ natural organic reduction โ wonโt be legal in California until 2027, so Van Valkenburgh paid to fly her husbandโs body to Washington, the first state to legalize human composting in 2020.”
Until 2027, it appears that there will be a budding industry of collaboration to facilitate compost burials for those who liveย in California.
“[I]n the first of what will probably be other such collaborations, the family-owned Clarity Funerals and Cremation in Anaheim has partnered with Return Home to offer a package deal for people in Southern California who want to compost their loved ones in Washington,” the LA Times wrote.
The same outlet reported that currently, the threeย human composting mortuaries operating in Washington “have reported steady business from out-of-state customers, especially Californians.”
Those out-of-state customers “are either flying or driving their deceased loved ones north,” the outlet reported.
Former Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, a Democrat, is credited for authoring Californiaโs law.
Garcia spoke with the LA Times about her reasons for the move.
“I love the outdoors and I really want to be a tree in my afterlife,” she told the outlet.
“My family has a crypt in Mexico, where there are no trees or shade around…
“I want my soil to be used specifically for a plum tree, my favorite fruit, and my loved ones can visit me there.”
Garcia added that she wanted an earlier date than 2027 for the legalization of human composting.
However, officials needed to satisfy the state Cemetery and Funeral Bureauโs request for more time to set rules and standards.
“I didnโt want to risk it not getting passed,” Garcia said.
Human composting pioneer Katrina Spade argues that traditional burials and cremations for the dead are contributing to the so-called “climate crisis.”
Spade claims that composting human remains instead will help globalists fight “climate change.”
“The truth is, the last gesture most of us will make on this Earth is toxic,” Spade wrote in 2016, which was quoted in the article.
The news comes amid increasing pressure on the public to make sacrifices to stop “global warming.”
Meanwhile, the list of everyday items and activities that supposedly cause “climate change” continues to grow.
As Slay News reported last week, citizens in the European Union are now being told they must give up physical cash to tackle the “climate crisis.”
Financial institutions in Europe have started rolling out โdigital transformationsโ to usher in โcashless societiesโ to comply with the European Central Bankโs (ECB) plan to supposedly tackle โclimate change.โ
As part of the ECBโs โclimate and nature plan,โ banks that operate in the bloc are being reviewed to ensure they are making steps toward eliminating physical cash.
The financial institutions are being subjected to on-site inspections to monitor the progress of their โdigital transformations.โ
To comply with the โdigital transformationโ goals, banks must prove they are entering into the preparation phase of the โdigital euroโ โ the European Unionโs central bank digital currency (CBDC).
In January, ECB President Christine Lagarde posted a video on social media to announce the push to digital cash as part of the bankโs โgreen transition.โ
Lagarde said in a post on X:
โA hotter climate and nature loss are changing our lives.
โWe must understand what this means for the economy to fulfill our mandate.
โWith our climate and nature plan, we are intensifying our efforts to help underpin stability and support the green transition.โ
For those who missed it, Lagarde’s statement is a push for eliminating cash and replacing it with a CBDC.
According to Lagarde’s video statement accompanying the post, “banknotes” contribute to “climate change.”
