Agreed Earth Day is meant to make initiatives to prevent our dear mother earth but does this mean that the passing over of Earth Day stops lowers down your responsibility towards eco-friendly drive. Today, around 90% of coffins used in committals are made of chipboard roofed with a shield that breeds formaldehyde and glue into the groundwater and relieves toxic gases into the air. This is a clear indication of the fact that there is a whole set of people engaged in driving electric cars and caress endangered species, responsible for showing a posthumous middle finger to Mother Earth.
And here we have the Ecopod, a preferred alternative made out of 100% recycled paper and is absolutely ecological.

Available in four shades and multiple forms, they come at a retail price of $1500 to $1900, depending on which you order. On a first look it looks like an extraterrestrial cocoon but that’s a bonus if you consider.

Pet lovers, kindly lend your ears here and listen to me quietly. We have been entertaining ways to keep our loved ones close to our heart even when they are dead. Yah, space ships after death or temporarily dying to get rejuvenated are the ways to pay tribute to our loved ones. But did you ever give a thought to do something on similar lines for your loyal poochie. Or don’t tell me you are cruel enough not to bother to do any such thing for your pet. Fact is they have a very small life span but takes only days to become a part of our life that we start considering them more than our family member. Only few blessed souls are giving a thought to the idea of finding ways to keep the memories of departed pet with them.

Amist gamut of reputable funeral services available, there is a growing fad to bring home designer stuff developed absolutely to pay an accolade to him/her. What a great thought to add rejuvenate the memories of your pooch via mini Buddhist altar, the Memoria Areca?

It features sections for a vase along with a glass case that exhibits preferred items like leashes and toys and a picture frame integrated with the lid. Here you have ready options: Priced at $2,200-$2,600, the Memoria Areca is available in two designer patterns, all set to embellish the living room mantel or dressing room desk. Or you can embed your pet’s remains into a diamond ring. Sounds weird but it is happening! If you have spare $$$$, you can also ink neat deals with diamond rings or pendants of $2,900 for 0.1c or $19,000 for 1.0c.

LawnBott, the $2,750 robot claims to be the honest automated lawn mower with a potential to hack 33,000 sq ft of grass on a single go. But lately it has revealed its true face as well.

It is capable to grill humans into pieces as well. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Kyodo America have lately thought of “reminding them instantly.” Actually, one of the possessors elevated the mower from the land while it was in motion and “endured slight gashes from the stirring cutting edge.” It is another set of stupid humans making efforts to win the Darwin Award.

For the creator, it may not be something big but the US CPSC and the company are decisive to recollect models LB2000, LB2100, LB3000, and LB3200 as “the hurtful blades persist to swivel when the mower is raised from the ground and the left out space on the side of lawn mower would evidently hurt the feet.” Instaed of doing any good to clients, it would surely invite people who would be anti-robot land mower.

Pop quiz for all living souls: How many of you have had a chance to make a trip to moon during the course of your life? Think….thinking……not me! Alright, now tell me how many of you would wish to visit moon after death? No, don’t call me insane as it is the revolutionary way devised by Celestis, a Texas company to depart this life. Company has disclosed that it will begin launching human cremated remains to the surface of the moon by 2009. Mind you, this outlandish experience doesn’t come cheap and thus demands a hefty sum. The “Luna” burial package is may vary from $10,000 to $15,000. It comes with a customized DVD of the launch that includes a memorial service. Experiencing this way of departing from this life can be considered as even ordinary funerals bites you with the sum of $6,000 plus. The company invited people to attend the launch of someone’s ashes in the similar fashion as they would attend someone’s funeral.

Company’s Web site reads: “Leaving Earth to touch the cosmos is an experience few have ever known, but many have often dreamed of. The nature of these space services respects your dreams and memory of your departed loved one by launching a symbolic portion of cremated remains into Earth orbit, onto the lunar surface or into deep space.”

There is an addition to the news. Practices are being implemented to return the cremated remains to Earth. Celestis is an established player in this industry maintaining the exclusivity of these services and has sent the ashes of James Doohan, who played Scotty on Star Trek, into space in two individual memorial spaceflights. Go ahead and pen down your views about minting money from the ashes of dead body. Is it really a practice to be practiced?
