Ian Sutton promotes aquamation as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cremation in BC.

Ian Sutton advocates for the adoption of aquamation, or alkaline hydrolysis, as an eco-friendly alternative to flame cremation in British Columbia. In 2023, 76.8% of the 45,102 deaths resulted in carbon emissions from traditional cremation.

Despite calls for legislative change, the provincial government has not yet acted on this alternative.
