Show Notes
Fresno County supervisor Garry Bredefeld plans to introduce an ordinance banning human composting on sensitive public land near the San Joaquin River, following the discovery of human remains-derived soil at Sumner Peck Ranch. The local conservation trust, which received the soil for free, defends the practice as eco-friendly and beneficial for wildlife. However, Bredefeld argues its illegal and lacks common sense, while the trust maintains its a legal and collaborative process. The method, legalized in California in 2022, turns bodies into nutrient-rich soil over 30-45 days, and is gaining popularity as a carbon-neutral alternative to cremation.
