Hemp will stop Deforestation
Hemp has the potential to stop deforestation.
Points: Can stop the use of tree products that have contributed to deforestation
Trees cut down to make paper take 50 to 500 years to grow, while hemp can be cultivated in as little as 100 days and can yield 4 times more paper over a 20 year period.
Until 1883, from 75-90% of all paper in the world was made with cannabis hemp fiber including that for books, Bibles, maps, paper money, stocks and bonds, newspapers, etc. 2
Hemp paper is longer lasting than wood pulp, stronger, acid-free, and chlorine free. (Chlorine is estimated to cause up to 10% of all Cancers.)
Can replace the use of palm oil that has contributed to deforestation
Everyday, we use lipstick, lip balm, body moisturizer, soap, shampoo which are among products that generally use palm oil. You can find those products which use hemp oil instead.
Hemp is a much more sustainable plant than palm. We can yield hemp in just 90 days, while it also use less land space. Using hemp ingredients instead of palm will reduce deforestation
Uses little to none herbicides and pesticides reducing the amount of soil degradation improving air qualities and improves surrounding ecosystems
Hemp will improve qualities of life that were destroyed by deforestation
Animals will have better habitats with less environmental issues as well as preventing global warming.
Surrounding hidden communities can flourish in the forests without interference
Local Economy's will strive with the growth of a new environmentally friendly, renewable resource,
investment is key
Greed should be moderated
The cost of paying more will result in paying less in the future.
Research is essential
Development in hemp technology can truly help the world overcome many modern world issues http://hempethics.weebly.com/hemp-and-sustainability.html http://forestry.about.com/od/woodsnews/a/hemp_vs_wood.htm http://www.rmforbes.net http://www.mit.edu/~thistle/v13/2/hemp.html
