You don't need any nails for this one!

Well, I know this isn't a Spring related journal entry, but I just couldn't resist. A few weeks ago I was surfing the web and I came across this google ad. I was so intrigued, I had to click it. I wasn't sure if I was reading the add correctly, but it turns out that I had. It was an ad for environmentally friendly coffins! and they are so beautifully decorated. Well, I can now exit in the style I have grown accustomed to.

I have often wondered why people spend  THOUSANDS  of dollars  on a coffin that you will only see for a few days, and then never see ever again. 

In this day and age of global deforestation this option couldn't come at a better time. My friend Sagar was over for lunch yestareday, who is from Kathmandu, and he was telling me  that  1x1' of lumber starts at  $10.00 CAD  because trees are so scarce.  Looking out of the window he said "It's not like Canada, where you have so many trees" When he said that I thought about all of the sweet little wood lots around the city that are now condominiums, and all of the places I used to go hiking along the Humber River that are now golf courses.hhhmmmmm. Maybe in a cardboard coffin is, "the way to go".
