Green Burials Segment On MSNBC Teaches You How To "Die Green"

This afternoon on MSNBC, as part of their "Green is Universal Earth Week" coverage, Contessa Brewer anchored a segment on green burials, environmentally-friendly ways to bury or cremate deceased human bodies. "So maybe you thought about ways to live green, but how about ways to die green?" Brewer asked. Below, we've captured all of the possible ways Brewer and her guest (environmental journalist and author Mark Harris) suggest you can "die green," from turning your ashes into paint and letting your loved ones paint a picture to being buried in a "woodland cemetery."

NBC is owned by General Electric, who is deeply invested in "green technologies".

You would think that NBC would disclose this information before every "green" story, but they don't.

Being "green" is a nice idea in theory, but it won't change the temperature of the planet.

Get over yourselves Libs, you can't change or control the climate.

I've noticed that as a rule, any segment presented by Contessa Brewer seems a bit awkward.
She is in way over her head.

[humanist1]

She also comes across as arrogant, vain, and angry, with no sense of humor whatsoever.

[Arguman]

why are peoples talking about the Contessa? She didn't belittle this idea, and asked standard newscaster questions about SND subjects.

i wonder how safe is it to bury someone naturally like this...ive thought about it... it makes me think of peter krause on Six Feet Under. the fact of death is prevalent no matter how anyone is buried... man i miss that show wonderful scene...

The media loves John McCain. They will do anything to help him win. I've said it over and over. It's true. They want the BBQ's and access. You'll see. The media pushed for his war in Iraq. They'll push for the Iran War too. Look who the Times hired: Kristol and Brooks: Who was more hawkish on Iraq?

This wasn't about Contessa. And it certainly was newsworthy. Had you already heard of all these options to being buried in a metal coffin in a concrete vault? How about keeping your comments on topic.

Ms. Brewer has not matured as of yet, she is and has been for several year in a state of arrested development. When she was a newscaster on IMUS in the Morning (MSNBC) she would become so flustered she looked as if she was next to hyperventilating. Needs to go back to Arizona and statr over.

Contessa Brewer is a joke as far as reporting news goes. Last week she did a story on Obama saying he may of inadvertly gave the finger while he scratched his face at a speech he gave, i seen the clip and it was no flip off,but this is what news has sunk to, a little advice to Ms. Brewer try to do something thats news worthy next time, then maybe you wouldn't be so much of a joke.
