Hudson Valley author and farmer, Suzanne Kelly, is hosting an earth day conversation about the Green Burial Movement. Her 2015 book, Greening Death: Reclaiming Burial Practices and Restoring Our Tie to the Earth traces the philosophical and historical backstory to this awakening, captures the passionate on-the-ground work of the Green Burial Movement, and explores the obstacles and other challenges getting in the way of more robust mobilization. As the movement lays claim to greener, simpler, and more cost-efficient practices, something even more promising is being offered up—a tangible way of restoring our relationship to nature.
