Let’s make green burial the natural choice!
GBSNS has been functioning on volunteer efforts for years now. Donations have covered the cost of incorporating as a non-profit society, the cost of brochures and bookmarks, the cost of websites, and even the cost of transportation to do presentations, but this group could do more if it had more resources.
When GBSNS does presentations, I help print brochures and set up chairs.
Everyone can contribute a bit of time to helping spread the word!
I joined GBSNS just to find out about alternatives to the funeral industry. When I learned that almost nothing about it is ecological, I stayed with the society to help promote the fact that green burial is just about the only environmentally positive disposition method in Nova Scotia.
