Bio bricks and Mushroom burial suits
I had to profile two incredible products already for sale.
The mushroom burial suit, seen above, turns dead bodies into clean compost. All the things, both good and bad, that we ingest over our lifetime, leach out when we are buried or are released into the atmosphere if we are cremated.
The suit, filled with mushroom spores, makes it possible for our final burial to be as green as our lives.
Making bricks releases up to 8% of all greenhouse gases. We obviously need to do better. Enter bio bricks, bricks grown from bacteria, which could eliminate one of our enduring and truly destructive traditions. $2.8 million dollars in first round funding will go a long way towards making this venture a future force.
