Green Burial and the Vermont Law
Many Vermonters are surprised to learn that a current state statute limits the effectiveness of green burials in Vermont. However, a new bill introduced at the state house could change that by changing the mandatory minimum burial depth. Come learn about the bill, why burial depth is important, and the environmental benefits of green burial on rehabilitating, preserving, and conserving habitats. This program is hosted by end-of-life specialist and green-burial-educator Michelle Acciavatti and wildlife biologist and green-burial-educator Carl Anderson. It includes a screening of the short documentary, “Dying Green”, followed by a brief presentation about green burial in Vermont and a discussion.

When: Saturday Feb 11, 1:30pm to 3:00pm
Where: Fletcher room/ Fletcher Free Library, Burlington
