For The Environment
The utilisation of hemp on a mass scale would be incredibly beneficial for our environment.
Hemp can grow abundantly in almost any climate, in soil in any condition and without pesticides or fertiliser. This makes it easier and cheaper to grow and much better for the air, the waterways and oceans and the health of farmers and consumers of hemp.
Hemp regenerates the quality of soil, instead of depleting it and it breaths in 4 times more CO2 than trees. Once acre of hemp produces more oxygen than 25 acres of trees.
Hemp can be cultivated after just 4 months so is much less land intensive than other crops. Hemp paper can be recycles 8 times and increasing its production will help in the fight against deforestation.
Purchasing clothing made out of hemp fabric is also much better for the environment than cotton and synthetic fabrics. Hemp is natural and much easier and cheaper to grow organically than cotton. It produces 3 times more textile per acre and is much less water intensive than cotton. The cotton industry, depletes the soil, pollutes the water and air with huge amounts of fertilisers and pesticides the industry uses. Synthetic fabric is made with a ton of chemicals and is not biodegradable, clogging up our lands fills and oceans. Hemp fabric is key when it comes to the war against fast fashion.
Every thing that is plastic can be made form hemp. Hemp plastic is natural and 100% biodegradable making it insanely better for the environment compared to traditional plastic made from petrochemicals. Hemp biofuel is also a renewable source of diesel and petrol that is clean.
