Becoming One With Nature: Finding A Better Final Resting Place With Sandy Gibson Of Better Place Forests

You might have heard about being buried in a tree egg, or perhaps even composted or buried at sea. But how realistic are these final resting place options at this point in time? Are there more sustainable and regenerative solutions for this? Corinna Bellizzi welcomes Sandy Gibson as they take on a different road and explore one of life’s inevitable moments. Listen in as they discuss how you can find a better, greener final resting place with Better Place Forests.
