We know that about 70.8% of the surface of the Earth is covered by water. As for the submerged surface it has mountainous features, including a globe-spanning mid-ocean ridge system, as well as undersea volcanoes, oceanic trenches, submarine canyons, oceanic plateaus and abyssal plains. And only remaining 29.2% is not covered by water, and consists of mountains, deserts, plains, plateaus, and other geomorphologies. (Wikipedia).

And now, how many people live on this same Earth? According to the Population Reference Bureau there are 6,705 million people are living on the Earth. As for the death rate, according to the Index Mundi, it is 8.32.

So what was the reason of covering these issues? Cremation, to look at this process humorously, cremation that saves acres of land on the Earth serves to advantage to the Earth if taking into consideration the new line of eco-friendly cremation urns from Richard Lamb New Traditions. It helps consumers stay green to the very end, with minimal impact on the environment.

As it is admitted at PRWeb, the urns, available at Richard Lamb New Traditions, are handcrafted in the United States from responsibly produced materials such as sustainable bamboo and at least 50% recycled steel and the urns have less environmental impact after burial.

"Many of the families we work with are environmentally conscious about the products they buy on a daily basis," says Richard Lamb, the memorial merchandising Web site's founder and 45-year veteran of the funeral industry. "When they realize that the cremation urns they choose are likely to have a lasting effect on the environment, as well, they ask for greener options."
