This might be the saddest topic on this blog. Although its still worth talking about. by now you have probably realized that the human body is recycled after death. But what happens to your clothes that are put into the casket with the deceased. most people wear synthetic fabrics that don't break down like hemp, silk, and, cotton. Pia Interlandi, fashion designer created biodegradable garments. She got this idea after having to dress her grandfather for his funeral.  "It's a big bag of nutrients and water and protein. When you place it into the earth, I think the garment is almost like wrapping paper". ~ Interlandi. From now on I'm going to try to write about happier topics.
