I am a individual who, for personal reasons, does not desire burial after death. In today's society, many people share my viewpoint, and we are in need of an environmentally friendly solution to manage the end of life. One of these solutions is Aquamation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis. Aquamation is considered a 'green' alternative to traditional cremation due to its drastically lower carbon footprint. A study by the Journal of Cleaner Production indicates that this method reduces energy use by 80% compared to conventional cremation. However, the primary obstacle is that Aquamation is still not legalized in many jurisdictions, which limits its availability to those who wish to use it.

Aquamation is not only environmentally friendly, but it also treats the deceased with dignity and respect. Yet, despite its significant environmental and societal benefits, legislation has not caught up. Therefore, we feel strongly that it is time for a change.

We kindly ask legislators to recognize the environmental implications of current post-death rituals and adapt laws to embrace Aquamation as an eco-friendly, respectful post-life option. Your signature can help bring about this necessary change and provide people with more green alternatives after death. Please sign this petition and show your support for legalizing Aquamation.
