EcoPods are environmentally friendly coffins made from recycled paper. Whether you're worried about the state of the planet, or just want to be sure that you'll have an easy climb back out of the grave, should the zombiism take hold, this seems like a good idea.

Ecopod is a revolutionary design in coffins made from naturally hardened, 100% recycled paper. The time and consideration gone into the concept and design of the Ecopod we feel has culminated in a product with much to offer.

Made from 100% ecologically sound materials the Ecopod is the ideal product for a non toxic burial or cremation. Perfect for use in greenfield sites.

Update: Shane sez, "You might also want to look into this post about two other cardboard coffin makers, they have some you can print your own designs on. One guy even got his favorite sports team printed on one."

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
