Luke Perry buried in eco-friendly mushroom suit, daughter reveals

Luke Perry was buried in an eco-friendly suit made from mushrooms, his daughter has revealed.

In March, it was reported the Riverdale star had died at the age of 52 after suffering a stroke.

The actor, who rose to fame while starring in Beverly Hills, 90210 in the 1990s, was reportedly surrounded by his close friends and family when he passed away.

His daughter, Sophie Perry, has revealed her father specifically asked to be buried in a biodegradable suit made from mushrooms.

The 18-year-old shared a photograph on Instagram of a growth of mushrooms in a Californian woodland, explaining the reason behind Perry’s request.

“Any explanation I give will not do justice to the genius that is the mushroom burial suit, but it is essentially an eco-friendly burial option via mushrooms,” the teenager wrote.

“My dad discovered it, and was more excited by this than I have ever seen him. He was buried in this suit, one of his final wishes.”

In the Instagram caption, Sophie Perry advised for her followers to visit the website for Coeio, a “green burial” company.

The firm’s “Infinity Burial Suit”, which costs $1,500 (£1,138), is made from natural, biodegradable material and “cleanses the body and soil of toxins that would otherwise seep into the environment”, the company states.

Coeio vows to plant two trees for every suit sold.

“Now, mushrooms hold an entirely new meaning for me,” Sophie Perry wrote on Instagram.

The suit was created more than a decade ago by Jae Rhim Lee, founder and CEO of Coeio.

1/8 Davos 2019: David Attenborough issues stark warning about future of civilisation as he demands ‘practical solutions’ to combat climate change

Sir David Attenborough has issued a stark warning about Climate change to business figures gathered in Davos, telling them that “what we do now…will profoundly affect the next few thousand years”.

On the eve of this year’s World Economic Forum, the renowned naturalist told the audience that the worlds of business and politics should “get on with the practical solutions” needed to prevent environmental damage.

“As a species we are expert problem solvers. But we’ve not yet applied ourselves to this problem with the focus it requires.

“We can create a world with clean air and water, unlimited energy, and fish stocks that will sustain us well into the future. But to do that, we need a plan,” he said.

The broadcaster made his speech after receiving a Crystal Award, which is awarded by the forum to “exceptional cultural leaders”.

2/8 At least 60% of wild coffee species face extinction triggered by climate change and disease

Two decades of research have revealed that 60 per cent of the world’s coffee Species Face Extinction due to the combined threats of deforestation, disease and climate change.

The wild strain of arabica, the most widely consumed coffee on the planet, is among those now recognised as endangered, raising concerns about its long-term survival.

These results are worrying for the millions of farmers around the world who depend on the continued survival of coffee for their livelihoods.

As conditions for coffee farming become tougher, scientists predict the industry will need to rely on wild varieties to develop more resilient strains

3/8 Warming Antarctic waters are speeding the rate at which glaciers are melting

The Antarctic ice sheet is losing six times as much ice each year as it was in the 1980s and the pace is accelerating, one of the most comprehensive studies of climate change effects on the continent has shown.

More than half an inch has been added to global sea levels since 1979, but if current trends continue it will be responsible for metres more in future, the Nasa-funded study found.

The international effort used aerial photos, satellite data and climate models dating back to the 1970s across18 Antarctic regions to get the most complete picture to date on the impacts of the changing climate.

It found that between 1979 and 1990 Antarctica lost an average of 40 gigatonnes (40 billion tonnes) of its mass each year.

Between 2009 and 2017 it lost an average 252 gigatonnes a year. This has added 3.6mm per decade to sea levels, or around 14mm since 1979, the study shows

4/8 Greater Manchester to ban fracking, paving way for confrontation with government over controversial industry

Greater Manchester is to effectively ban fracking, raising the prospect of fresh confrontation with the government over the controversial industry.

All of the region’s 10 councils are to implement planning policies which create a “presumption” against drilling for shale gas in their areas, Manchester mayor Andy Burnham has announced.

Campaigners said the move was the latest sign that the tide was turning against fracking, which has been the subject of multiple legal battles across the country.

Critics of fracking say it poses environmental and health risks. Drilling at the UK’s only operational fracking site, run by Cuadrilla in Lancashire, has repeatedly been halted due to earth tremors.

But ministers support the industry and last year unveiled plans to accelerate the development of new drilling sites

5/8 Japan confirms plan to resume commercial whaling in its waters from next year

Japan will resume commercial whaling next year for the first time in more than three decades, in a move that has provoked strong criticism from campaigners and the international community.

Chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga said his nation would leave the International Whaling Commission (IWC) to resume hunting the marine mammals in Japanese waters.

However, he stated the activity would be limited to Japan’s territory and the 200 mile exclusive economic zone along its coasts.

This means controversial “scientific” trips to Antarctica in which Japanese vessels killed hundreds of whales, as well as activity in the northwest Pacific, will stop in 2019

6/8 COP24: Environmental groups criticise ‘morally unacceptable’ climate deal reached after major Poland summit

Diplomats from around the world have agreed a major climate deal after two weeks of United Nations talks in Poland.

But climate campaigners warned the deal – effectively a set of rules for how to govern the 2015 Paris climate accord – agreed between almost 200 countries lacked ambition or a clear promise of enhanced climate action.

Activists cautiously welcomed elements of the plan, saying “important progress” had been made on ensuring that efforts to tackle climate change by individual nations can be measured and compared.

But environmental groups were also highly critical of the agreement, warning it lacked ambition and clarity on key issues, including financing for climate projects for developing countries.

The COP24 deal, which is aimed at providing firm guidelines for countries on how to transparently report their greenhouse gas emissions and their efforts to reduce them, was confirmed on 15 December, after talks overran

7/8 ‘Unprecedented changes’ needed to stop global warming as UN report reveals islands starting to vanish and coral reefs dying

Greenhouse gas emissions must be cut almost in half by 2030 to avert global environmental catastrophe, including the total loss of every coral reef, the disappearance of Arctic ice and the destruction of island communities, a landmark UN report has concluded.

Drawing on more than 6,000 scientific studies and compiled over two years, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) findings, released this morning, warn enormous and rapid changes to the way everyone on Earth eats, travels and produces energy need to be brought in immediately.

Though the scientists behind the report said there is cause for optimism, they recognised the grim reality that nations are currently nowhere near on track to avert disaster

8/8 Africa’s three biggest elephant poaching cartels exposed using DNA from illegal ivory shipments

DNA taken from massive shipments of ivory has been used to identify the three largest wildlife trafficking gangs operating at the height of Africa’s elephant poaching epidemic.

Ivory tends to be shipped around the world from African ports in bulk, and scientists have used genetic evidence gleaned from intercepted batches to reveal their origins.

Led by Dr Samuel Wasser from the University of Washington, they traced a number of these shipments to three cartels operating out of Kenya, Uganda and Togo.

Evidence collected by Dr Wasser has already helped convict ivory kingpin Feisal Mohamed Ali, and as his team joins the dots between shipments they plan to shore up the cases against more of the continent’s most prolific smugglers

Following her graduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Lee studied mycoremediation, investigating how mushrooms could be incorporated into contemporary funeral practices.

“It became more and more apparent how conceptions of death are enacted through the body, and this research added the idea that fashion, in addition to mushrooms, could be a vehicle for re-imagining our relationship with death,” Coeio states.

Lee debuted the suit at the “Seamless: Computational Couture” fashion show at the Museum of Science in Boston in 2008.
