      @@berreyl1689 hahaha, no that's not the case at all. Hongkongers don't give a shit about the environment if it means cheaper real estate. The city wants the land supply to be low to keep the lease high and the riches want the same because more supply means their own property is worth less. Poor people are fucked either way. HK only uses 3% of its land , 3%! Environment doesn't mean shit when you are literally living in cages. hongkongers only have themselves to blame since they pay ultralow tax compare to the rest of China and the rest of world for that matter, where else is the city going to find money if they can't get it from real easte? "love their environment",lmao,

    Grave sites here in So Cal are so expensive that I have instructions in my will for my ashes to be spread in the Pacific Ocean. That way, my loved ones can visit me no matter where they are in the Pacific Rim. Besides, I really love the ocean.

    Why they don't "throw" (or let say, release) the ash to the sea?
    It is common in Hinduism, and so do in Buddhism (i guess??)

    i bet they havent consider the pollution they will cause to the sea if they dump ashes into the sea. Maybe they will feel it when 1 mill people dump the ashes in the sea every yr. And also throw human remains into the sea, and let the living eat the fishes is as good as an act of cannibalism.
    But now the new in thing is to turn human remains into diamonds which can be kept.

    In indian religion ,
    Body is instruments in which soul leave ,
    The right place of body to dissolve in soil , and let the soul librate ,
    Realses the ash where it belongs to it , NATURE
    Cuz after 200years , later people don't know who's ash is it , and people will call just sand or soil ,
    The fruits , vegetable we eat are soil
    The human are soil
    The animals are soil
    It dynamic machine of 5 elements where soul resides by limiting thier consciousness
