Why Hemp?
The humble hemp seed is the most sustainable crop on earth! It's versatility is just mind-blowing! Unlike cotton production which poisons agriculture workers, uses up resources and contaminates water supplies, hemp grows abundantly without the use of fertilises and vast amounts of water.
*As a food it's a complete protein source as well as being a powerhouse of omega 3 essential fatty acids(essential for a healthy brain and heart:). These good fats help you to release excess weight unlike the undesirable trans fats in processed foods.
* As a clean fuel source unlike fossil fuels(oils, coal, tar etc.) that pollute and contaminate land and rivers significantly contributing to global warming and the mess we're in now.
* Hemp makes an excellent and durable fabric for clothes(bags, diapers etc.) and has far superior tensell strengh to cotton and repels more ultra violet rays then any other fabric.
*Hemp makes excellent ethical, skincare preparations(moisturizers etc.) it must be down to all the nourishing omega 3 essential fatty acids(I especially love the UK-made Yeoh brand:)
* Hemp makes a ethically-sourced paper unlike tree paper!
*The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was a disaster waiting to happen Oil is far from ethical and ultimate kills many lives on land and sea. People go to war over oil, fueling the ego and greed mentality. It plays a huge contribution to the deforestation of the rainforests(whether for animal production, industry or paper production) is wide-spread pollution and environmental degradation on a global scale. We can't plant enough trees, they're our lifeblood! I'm scared for our children's future. Ultimately, all this is down to is unnecessary irresponsible human behaviour. Time to mend our ways perhaps?
* Reuse, Recycle, Reduce
* Eat and wear Hemp(Go vegan, eat a plant-based high-water fueled diet:)!
* Pratise Yoga / Meditation
This is very informative. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Joy! But folks need to keep imformed. Growing hemp purifies and cleans the polluted atmosphere around us too!
ReplyDeleteHemp cultivation / agriculture is currently illegal in the States and yet they're cutting down vast acres of natural healthy rainforests to grow animal fodder ie soya thus destroying the vital infrasructure of the planet at the same time. The majority of consumer folk are so brainwashed that they foolishly follow the sheep at a huge cost to us all. We as consumers have the power!
On a lighter note, I hope you and precious baby are well! The act of conscious breathing would be beneficial right now(Just focus on breath:).
