Riley, 59, an avid environmentalist and entrepreneur, is the founder of ecoMemorial.org, an organization that offers people an alternative to traditional burial and an innovative way to create a memorial for themselves or their loved ones that will go on living long after they die, while also helping the environment and saving them money.

"Cemeteries are not ecologically sound," Riley says. "Most green and natural burial methods are based on the idea of minimizing the negative impact of human remains on the environment. We saw the chance to create a positive environmental impact that would benefit future generations."
