Join CheEREO! April 22 at 3 p.m. for a research options discussion on “Greener” funerals

Please mark your calendars for Thursday, April 22, at 3 p.m.– for our CheEREO! event.  CheEREO! is your monthly opportunity to meet other CEREO affiliates.  Come to our virtual space to take a break from the grind- you can chat with other affiliates, hear about what CEREO has brewing, or join in on informal discussions about interdisciplinary, environmental topics and ideas.

This Thursday we will be discussing options for “greener” funerals with Dr. Lynne Carpenter-Boggs, Professor of Organic and Sustainable Agriculture, Department of Crop and Soil Sciences.

There will be a short talk and then everyone will split into discussion groups of 4-5 people. First discussion session is – what do you think you would want as a funeral process and why?  Second session – what are researchable questions and potential funding sources around greener funerals?
