Founder, Recompose

Meet Cloud Room member Katrina Spade who is changing the way we think about what we want to do with our bodies when we die. Recompose offers an alternative choice to cremation and conventional burial methods. Recomposition gently converts human remains into soil, so that we can nourish new life after we die. The system uses nature's principles to return bodies to the earth, sequestering carbon and improving soil health. In fact, they’ve calculated carbon savings over a metric ton per person. We got the opportunity to talk with Katrina about her project, and she shared with us that if she could grow into anything after she dies, it would be a prickly pair or a nettle. 🌵
