    Another option, less appealing.

    So, what's the environmental impact of just leaving in the woods to rot naturally? Sounds, yucky, I know, but it would give us a baseline to use to compare the other methods. How about dessication, freezing, or being eaten by scavengers? What about the method scientists use to remove the flesh off of animal remains -- lots and lots of carrion beetles?

    If we have to get morbid, let's go all the way!
