Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed legislation on Tuesday making the state the first in the country to legalize human composting.

The process uses wood chips, straw and other substances to turn the human body into soil, giving families an environmentally friendly alternative to burial or cremation. The bill, titled"concerning human remains," passed with bipartisan majorities in both chambers of the state legislature: 80-16 in the House and 38-11 in the Senate.

I'm good with this. Return the body back to the earth in a good way. Nobody says you have to grow tomatoes, but trees or shrubs is a good thing.

The bill is actually titled, 'Concerning Human Remains' which is a shortened version of, 'Concerning Human Remains...We're, Um, Going to Turn You Into Mulch...So Your Loved Ones Can Plant Tomatoes With You. Then Eat You' Bill.
