#Hemp is an incredibly versatile plant. Peter Miles tells us that we can make paper from fast growing hemp, instead of cutting trees, replace concrete, a major source of greenhouse gases, and make biodegradable plastics and textiles to help solve the serious problem of toxic microfibers and particles in the oceans, which poison the fish, and the people who eat them. Hemp can be eaten and is a good source of protein.
The hemp plant itself can restore depleted and even radioactive soils. Both the plant and the concrete sequester carbon. What’s not to like?
In Zimbabwe, without vested interests interfering, Peter’s company, eHemp.House, aims to help the country develop a decarbonized industrial base with hemp pellet fuel and local biodiesel for farm machinery. He hopes to spread to other African countries where hemp grows readily and can help bolster sustainable and better #lifestyles.
