In Great Britain, where the green burial movement was born in the early 1990s, more than 200 green cemeteries operate. The United States, meanwhile, boasts almost 20 cemeteries either in operation or under development; they include the 140-hectare Glendale Memorial Nature Preserve in Florida, which combines a green cemetery and conservation area.

In Canada, by all accounts, nine people buried in officially green cemeteries. They're all in the one-eighth of a hectare dedicated to green burials at Royal Oak Burial Park in Victoria, B.C.

NB: I wonder what the the Australian statistics are?
