Washington has approved a new way of dealing with human remains.</span> <span data-start-time='11146' data-end-time='22688'>The law permits approved businesses to compost them: in other words, to turn bodies into dirt.</span> <span data-start-time='22688' data-end-time='30750'>Until now, states have permitted bodies only to be buried or burned.</span> <span data-start-time='30750' data-end-time='37938'>Governor Jay Inslee says the law came about because of his neighbor.</span> <span data-start-time='37938' data-end-time='41479'>Her name is Katrina Spade.</span> <span data-start-time='41479' data-end-time='50667'>While she was a graduate student in architecture, Spade began researching the funeral industry.</span> <span data-start-time='50667' data-end-time='58083'>She did not like its usual ways of burying or burning bodies.</span> <span data-start-time='58083' data-end-time='69188'>She wondered if Americans could deal with human remains similar to the way farmers deal with animal remains.</span> <span data-start-time='69188' data-end-time='84521'>In time, Spade found that human bodies would decompose quickly in a container filled with small pieces of wood, alfalfa and straw.</span> <span data-start-time='84521' data-end-time='93104'>Last year, Washington State University tested the idea on six bodies.</span> <span data-start-time='93104' data-end-time='95000'>And it worked.</span> <span data-start-time='95000' data-end-time='102604'>Spade now has a business that lets people choose to compost their bodies.</span> <span data-start-time='102604' data-end-time='110438'>The idea is for bodies to stay for 30 days in closed containers.</span> <span data-start-time='110438' data-end-time='118563'>During that time, they will turn into enough dirt to fill a small pickup truck.</span> <span data-start-time='118563' data-end-time='132958'>Friends and family may then take the dirt and spread it in a place that is special to them or use it to plant vegetables or a tree.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div
