Many people today are reluctant to install large upright monuments as memorials to their lost loved ones because they have concerns for the Earth’s environment. And those concerns, of course, are well founded.
Heavy upright monuments made of granite, marble or even cement are not easy on the Earth from a variety of perspectives. Excavating the raw materials for these monuments is a laborious process that involves, perhaps, more than its share of pollution, and, for many, the thought of moving nature’s heavy rocks that have been in their locale -- positioned by God himself some would say -- is disturbing, to say the least. And that is to say nothing of the fact that these materials are certainly not renewable -- quarries that took millions of years for nature to fill can easily is emptied by man in a hundred years or less.
The world is certainly ready for a less environmentally taxing way to build upright monuments and, fortunately, modern technology has created such a thing:
For those wanting to install a more environmentally friendly upright memorial that will have all of the construction benefits of the memorials commonly built today, an amazing new construction material is currently on the market. The developers of this new material intend for it to eventually revolutionize building construction in general, but its applications for upright memorial monuments can be immediate.
In a nutshell, the new material, through a secret, patented process, is made from plants that can be grown in almost any farmer’s field anywhere in the world. It can be modified to take on the strength and texture of granite, marble, cement or almost any other natural rock that is commonly used in construction today.
The material can withstand hurricane force winds, will last as long as cement, and, amazingly is much lighter than any of the materials that it is designed to replace. That means installation of and an upright monument made of this material will be much easier than with any other material.
And the cost? The new material involves less labor and heavy equipment to produce than does granite, marble or cement. So, accordingly, it costs less to make. Much less in many cases.
“So far, we have not found anything negative” about the new material, the developers say. So, it seems, the world may now have access to the perfect construction material: light weight, strong, weather resistant, low maintenance, easy to install, and versatile (can be made to take on the look and feel of the materials it’s designed to replace), this new material seems exactly the kind of thing that families across the world have been waiting upon for their environmentally friendly upright monuments.
