Karen M. Wyatt


Learn how mushrooms are taking green burial to a whole new level in this conversation with Namrata Kolla from Coeio.

10 am Pacific/1 pm Eastern



My guest on EOLU is Namrata Kolla, who works as the Partnerships Manager at Coeio, which involves marketing, communications, and a lot of emails! Prior to working at Coeio, she worked for The Nature Conservancy in Washington D.C. and the US House of Representatives. Namrata received her Bachelor's degrees in public policy and earth sciences at Georgia Tech. While Namrata was first inspired to work for Coeio from the perspective of environmental protection through better land use, she has since become far more involved in end-of-life perspective and the unique emotional healing Coeio's Infinity Burial products provides to adopters.


 


GREEN BURIAL is a topic that has been growing in popularity over the past decade as we seek for ways to care for our dead that don't overtax the planet or poison the environment. After graduating from MIT, designer and researcher Jae Rhim Lee had an inspiration that perhaps mushrooms could be a key in shifting our cultural practices around death. She created the Infinity Burial Suit to incorporate the detoxifying abilities of mushrooms into products that can aid in decomposition. Interest in the suit began to increase globally after JR created a TEDTalk "My Mushroom Burial Suit" for the TEDGlobal Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2011.

Here are the highlights of this interview:


How the 'Infinity Burial Suit' and other Coeio products actually work

How the suit has been tested up to this point and what additional tests have been planned

Why the burial suit is perfect for those desiring a "green" burial

How pet owners can utilize this technology after the death of an animal companion

How to obtain the suit in advance of need and how long is the "shelf-life" of an Infinity Burial Product

Future plans for Coeio-the company that makes the Infinity Burial Suit
