A reason for suicide, one may feel, would be to stop hir carbon footprint. the average carbon footprint for someone in the US is 16 tons! one may feel the world is overpopulated, and in some cities, it is. Human beings are causing massive damage to the earth and the oceans are being flooded with our trash.
if one doesnt go through with taking ones own life after all possessions given away and donated, then you can make an impact on the environment and lesson ones carbon footprint by driving less, consuming less products, recycling, cleaning your local trails and parks, stop eating meat
Act like a ghost who has limited to No contact with this society and world

heh, be careful how you exit, it might work out to increasing your carbon footprint.
I know in my case it’s at least uncertain. My family would want to embalm me, and since they’d be paying for my death costs they might well get it. A bit more time, a bit more money and legal strategy and I can be buried in a way that is at the very least carbon neutral
Embalming sucks, it’s an environmental poison and air pollutant
Anyway, it’s my hope to move into negative carbon footprint. I’m already growing all the trees and plants my 1/4 acre can support, but what I’d really like is to buy a few hundred acres and do the same thing. Over the years plant a forest, set up a land trust so it can’t be chopped down…. idk, nice dream anyway.
aww, that’s a nice dream/goal about setting up a land trust and planting a bunch of trees.
you can put it in your will (or suicide note) how you would like to be buried. or tell your family your wishes of not being embalmed and having toxins leech into the earth.
cremation is the best way to go! the ashes can go back into the earth!
Yeah, i have a fear about being embalmed as well, and i am against coffins and gravely against graveyards. all of that area could be used as a local community garden to feed the living.
thats why if i were to go, i would go way off into the forest where no one would find me , where they wont take my dead body through a church funeral ritual. i want nothing to do with christianity!
id like my body to naturally decay out in nature, and let the bugs and animals have a nice meal.
Those are great goals, hope you go through with them, i have similar goals myself… negative carbon impact…
