LIVE Podcast Episode! Human Composting and its Role in Circularity

July 8 @ 4:30 pm 5:30 pm

Have you ever wondered what happens with your body after you die? Founders, operators, aspiring entrepreneurs, and local businesses in the sustainability & climate space – join the Climate Mayhem podcast for a LIVE recording about companies that are saving the Earth and making money while doing it (hopefully tons). An interactive Q&A and Community Dinner to follow. Stick around for BlackStar Kebab, Ghanaian Street Food cuisine. Read more below! 🌟 Special Guests 🌟 We’ll be joined by Laura Cassidy from Recompose, a licensed, full-service, green funeral home based in Seattle offering human composting to clients across the country. Recompose is growing a worldwide movement to reimagine the end-of-life experience to be rooted in nature. Together with the founder of Anim8 Collective, Sarah O’Sell, we’ll explore how regenerative businesses, like Recompose, use natural cycles to drive their operations and give a whole new definition to “Cradle to Cradle.” We’ll also explore how startups can eliminate waste and create value with technical material and product cycles in the circular economy. What is Climate Mayhem? A podcast exploring the intersection of climate and capitalism. We’ve spent hundreds of years damaging our Earth, and we’ll need to spend (and earn) billions saving it. A hypothesis on saving the planet, tested through interviews with for-profit, climate-tech changemakers at Impossible, EVgo, Cloud Paper, DroneSeed, and so much more.
