African tribes leave human corpses out for hyenas to eat; others leave the body to decompose in trees or on rocks. However, the future could add another option to the list: alkaline hydrolysis. Our bodies would be dissolved in lye and turned into a brownish, coffee-colored syrupy residue, in what is clearly a very environmentally friendly technique. The liquid has the texture of motor oil and spreads a strong ammonia (urine-like) smell, but it is sterile and can be poured down the drain. In US, animal carcasses have been melted using this method for the past 16 years.</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> The process requires large stainless-steel cylinders resembling pressure <DIV class="embed"> </DIV><DIV> cookers to achieve 300o C heat and 60 pounds (27 kg) of pressure per square inch (6.25 square cm).</DIV></div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/burial/" rel="tag">burial</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/future/" rel="tag">future</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/death/" rel="tag">death</a></div>http://news.softpedia.com/news/The-Burial-of-the-Future-Alkaline-Hydrolisis-85620.shtmlThu, 15 May 2008 17:06:57 GMThttp://clipmarks.com/clipmark/8E7C762E-D613-407A-9370-DF07E609A5AE/<b>clipped by:</b> <a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/Mohir/">Mohir</a><br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUST29336420080514?feedType=RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNews" title="http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUST29336420080514?feedType=RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNews">www.reuters.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">Ladies, take your battle for the environment a little closer to your heart with a solar-powered bra that can generate enough electric energy to charge a mobile phone or an iPod.</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/Mohir/512/0DA75118-ECC8-4657-B3EF-E6F125C9F279.jpg" alt="Photo" /><br /></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">Lingerie maker Triumph International Japan Ltd unveiled its environmentally friendly, and green colored, "Solar Power Bra" on Wednesday in Tokyo which features a solar panel worn around the stomach.</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">The panel requires light to generate electricity and the concept bra will not be in stores anytime soon, said Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda, as "people usually can not go outside without wearing clothes over it."</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">But it does send the message of how lingerie could possibly save the planet, Masuda said, adding that the bra should not be washed or sunned on a rainy day to avoid damaging it.</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>"It is very comfortable and I can really feel involved in eco-friendly efforts as well," model Yuko Ishida said.</P></div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/bra/" rel="tag">bra</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/lingerie/" rel="tag">lingerie</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/solar+power/" rel="tag">solar power</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/green/" rel="tag">green</a></div>http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUST29336420080514?feedType=RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNewsThu, 15 May 2008 16:18:42 GMT
