Here stands death, a greenish decoction

Happy ides of March! While you consider your mortality, perhaps you’ll be interested in reading about the latest enviro push in Hong Kong: eco-coffins.

The corrugated cardboard coffins seem to be gaining popularity — which is sorta cool but rather morbid — in Europe, Japan, and Hong Kong….

Now you have a choice between this and the bookshelf-becomes-coffin option.

Immortality goes to the reader who can identify the allusion in the title. By immortality I mean your comment will enter the eternal digital world….
