THE ENVRIONMENT REPORT
Green Last Requests, Part Two
In 2008, I co-produced a documentary on the environmental consequences of traditional death care for Chicago Public Radio. Now comes the three-part series for The Environment Report, a radio show for 100-plus public radio stations in the U.S.

"When businesses begin offering earth-friendly alternatives to traditional products, it often takes a while for those items to catch on. The funeral industry is no exception. Todd Melby reports on one undertaker's attempt at greening death."

The audio is here.
