Što kada bi naše tijelo, umjesto da bude balzamirano, pokopano ili spaljeno do pepela, moglo pomoći u razvoju novoga života nakon što umremo? Pridružite se Katrini Spade dok raspravlja o "ponovnoj upotrebi" - sustavu koji koristi prirodni proces razgradnje kako bi našeg pokojnika pretvorio u životvorno tlo, poštujući i zemlju i pokojnika.
Katrina Spade - Inventor, designer, death care advocate

The truly awful truth

It's like we've created, accepted
and death-denied our way into a status quo
and death-denied our way into a status quo
48

To je kao da smo stvorili, prihvatili

03:25
But the truth
54
193320
1816
Ali, istina je
03:27
is that nature is really,
really good at death.

55
195160
2600
da je priroda zaista dobra u smrti.
03:31
We've all seen it.

Svi smo to vidjeli.
03:32
When organic material dies in nature,

Kada organski materijal umre u prirodi,
03:35
microbes and bacteria
break it down into nutrient-rich soil,

Back in architecture school,

216000
3480

razmišljala sam o svemu ovome

and that used nature as a guide

04:04
Something that was gentle to the planet?

Nešto što je blago za planet?
04:07
That planet, after all,
supports our living bodies

68
238120
1720
kroz cijeli život.
04:13
And while I was mulling this all over
69
241160
2496
Dok sam razmišljala
04:15
over the drawing board,
70
243680
1200
i skicirala to,
04:17
the phone rang.
71
245600
1200
telefon je zazvonio.
04:19
It was my friend Kate.
72
247520
1200
Bila je to prijateljica Kate.
04:21
She was like, "Hey,
have you heard about the farmers

73
249640
3616
Bila je kao, „Hej, jesi li
čula za poljoprivrednike

04:25
who are composting whole cows?"
74
253280
2280
koji kompostiraju cijele krave?”
04:29
And I was like, "Mmmm."
75
257360
2135
A ja sam samo nešto kao, „Mmmm.“
04:31
(Laughter)
76
259519

(Smijeh)
04:34
Turns out that farmers

262880

Ispostavilo se da farmeri u
poljoprivrednim institucijama

have been practicing something
called livestock mortality composting

79
269040
1536
već desetljećima.
04:42
Mortality composting is where
you take an animal high in nitrogen

Kompostiranje stoke je proces u kojem
uzimate životinju bogatu dušikom

In about nine months,

Za otprilike devet mjeseci
05:12
all that remains

The flesh has been decomposed entirely,

Meso je potpuno razgrađeno,
05:19
as have the bones.
91
307400
1560
kao i kosti.
05:22
I know.
92
310520
1216
Znam.
05:23
(Laughter)
93
311760
1496
(Smijeh)
05:25
So I would definitely
call myself a decomposition nerd,

94
313280
4176
Zato bih sebe definitivno
nazvala štreberom razgradnje,
nazvala štreberom razgradnje,
05:29
but I am far, far from a scientist,
95
317480
3080
ali sam vrlo daleko od znanstvenika,
05:33
and one way you can tell this is true
96
321240
1816
vidjeli ste da je to istina,
05:35
is that I have often called
the process of composting "magic."
the process of composting "magic."
97
323080
4296
jer često proces kompostiranja
nazivam magijom.
nazivam magijom.
05:39
(Laughter)
98
327400
3856
(Smijeh)
05:43
So basically, all we humans need to do
99
331280
2440
Dakle, u osnovi, sve što
mi ljudi trebamo učiniti
mi ljudi trebamo učiniti
05:46
is create the right environment
for nature to do its job.

100
334680

je stvoriti pravo okruženje za
prirodu da obavi svoj posao.

05:50
It's like the opposite
of antibacterial soap.

101
338040
3496
To je kao suprotnost
antibakterijskom sapunu.

05:53
Instead of fighting them,
102
341560
1256
Umjesto borbe protiv njih,
05:54
we welcome microbes and bacteria
in with open arms.

103
342840
3320
dočekujemo mikrobe i

06:10
In other words, that cow is transformed.
107
358280
3240
Drugim riječima, krava je transformirana.
06:14
It's no longer a cow.
108
362160
1560
Više nije krava.
06:16
It's been cycled back into nature.
109
364440
1960
Vraćena je natrag u prirodu.
06:19
See? Magic.
