Hemp has been a hot topic in the news as of late. Many people are ready to just push it aside because of it’s relative plants, but with global warming becoming a widely known fact and household term, and with countries around the world to work to decrease their carbon footprints, it is vitally important to search for environmentally safe options.
Research and development of such products are necessary in order to decrease the amount of pollution we output every year. Things like paper and cotton, which require large amounts of toxins and processing, therefore resulting in high levels of both pollution and deforestation, could potentially be replaced by hemp.
