Buying new clothes is a pleasure, but it can trigger guilt feelings. Should people spend money on new clothes when there are so many good causes in the world to support? What about saving the planet? Well, by choosing hemp clothing and other items made from this miracle plant, you can do both. And, of course, buying things keeps millions of people working all over the world.
Cotton is a major crop all over the globe, and it is also the one that takes the most pesticides to raise. It requires herbicides for weed control and to defoliate the plants before machine harvesting. It is also a 'hungry crop', requiring the heavy use of fertilizers, most of which are chemical unless the crop is organic.
In developing countries like India, as well as in regions of Africa and South America, the health of agricultural workers is not given high priority. The pesticides used on cotton include some of the most toxic ones, with documented health risks. The World Health Organization is attempting to educate peoples and governments to the dangers of heavy pesticide and herbicide use. However, many of the world's poor are in danger.
Hemp, in contrast, is like a miracle plant. It is in the same family as marijuana, but it has almost no 'drug' component. Analysts say an entire tractor-trailer load of hempseed or fiber would render only enough hallucinogen to make one joint. Its use has been banned for years in many countries, but it is beginning to be grown more and more as farmers become educated to its benefits and cost-effective culture.
Hemp is naturally insecticidal. It grows densely so it crowds out weeds and needs no herbicides to thrive. Farmers who grow hemp don't have to ride around in great clouds of toxic chemicals, the use of which has made farming one of the most unhealthy professions. Farmers can protect the health of themselves and their families while saving money they have been spending on chemicals.
Hemp actually is its own weed control and fertilizer. It grows densely and crowds out weeds. It also produces nitrogen like legumes do. It requires a very moderate amount of other fertilizer and leaves the field in better shape than it found it. This is in marked contrast to soil-depleting crops like cotton or corn; it is often used as a rotation for crops like these to build the soil back up.
Hempseed can grow where cotton won't since it is both frost and drought-resistant. It actually grows well in all 50 American states, which differ widely in climate and soil type. This miracle plant should be the main crop grown, since it gives so much and costs so little in terms of both money and harm to the environment. By looking for hemp products (and there are many), you can help promote this valuable crop.
This plant grows densely, so it is great weed control. It yields a healthy seed and oil, with balanced essential fatty acids. It can be used for fuel, non-petroleum plastics, paint, paper, and more. If we all look for hemp products, we can help explode the prejudice against this wonderful renewable resource.
