Environment-Friendly Coffin (If You Choose Cremation..............)

Yes, I chose to be cremated. No fuss, no remains, no 死人霸生地 (the death occupying the land of the lives). But burning will not be environmental friendly! Now I have a choice.

The Environment-Friendly Coffin created by the Tri-Wall KK, a Tokyo-based packaging material company (see...how creative people are in terms of product diversification. packaging material not restricted to those PE, PTFE and plastic-ic thingy only. death people need to be packaged as well)

The plus points:
1. Made from cardboard from sustainable trees and natural starch-based glue.
2. 1/2 of energy needed for combustion compared to ordinary coffin.
3. Tri-Wall KK will plant 10 trees in Mongolia for each of coffin sold which in 20 years, the trees will absorb 60% of the CO2 from a typical funeral.
4. It's cool. I mean cool in the street slang and not cool in the coffin, which by the way, not important cox cremation lah fren!!!!

So, now no need to worry about carbon emission. Can go die already. But wait........... How much is that thing????????? It might cost a bomb!!!!!!!!!!!! So, cannot die first. No money to die. Die also have to have money nowadays.
