Bios Urn: Reincarnate as a Tree
by Christine Lepisto, Berlin 
on 11. 5.05
It has been awhile since we last offered a Treehugger option for the close of your activist, purpose-driven life. Now please allow us to introduce the Bios Urn. We are not too excited about marking the end of our days with the chasing-arrows logo (and does it come with the female toilet-door icon for spirits of the formerly female persuasion?). But if the idea of Gerad Moline is brought into production, hopefully some tasteful designs such as grace the ecopod coffin can be adopted. The beauty of this idea is the tree seed which is hidden in the layer of fertilizer constrained by organic cellulose inside the urn of compacted coconut. Brings a whole new meaning to the concept of tree-hugging. ::Index
