About Me

Hemp is an ancient, versatile, eco-friendly, economically viable and efficient carbon sequestering crop grown all over the world.Over thousands of years Hemp has become naturally resistant to most pests and does not require herbicides. It can produce everything that trees and cotton produces. Hemp yields 4 times that of trees and twice that of cotton. Hemp takes only 120 days to grow, compared to trees that take 5-20 years to grow.Hemp can provide everything for human survival - paper, food, textile, building bricks & board, insulation, fibreglass, car panels, plastic, stone, animal bedding and feed, bio-fuel, paint, varnish and beer, plus much more...Spread the word - hemp is a clean, renewable resource. Most products worth producing from petrochemical oil, can be produced from hemp oil!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mechanically Processed Hemp Fibre vs Chemically Processed Hemp FibreHemp makes a strong, durable, comfortable, healthy, and high-performance fabric that's great for all seasons and for use indoors and out.Hemp has excellent insulative and conductive qualities. When compared to cotton, for example, hemp is warmer yet breathes better. For hot weather, hemp has superior conductive qualities to those of all other textile fibers (equaled only by flax), allowing the wearer to feel cool, comfortable, and fresh in very hot and/or humid conditions. Aditionally, the shaft-like structure of the hemp fiber molecule allows it to wick moisture right off the body, dry quickly, and, in cold conditions, even feel warm when wet.Hemp fabric is very resistant to degradation from mold, bacteria, salt water, sunlight, abrasion, and chemicals, while being fully biodegradable (unlike synthetic fibers). Hemp is an excellent ecological alternative to environmentally destructive conventional cotton cultivation and synthetics.
