Beautiful clothing is one of the joys of life all over the world. Many people like the soft feel of light weight fabrics for casual clothes, and they may choose cotton; if they are environmentally aware of the toxins used in raising this crop they may choose organic. However, they could have soft, natural garments and environmentally-friendly farming, too, if they knew the benefits of supporting hemp clothing manufacturers.
Cotton is a major crop all over the globe, and it is also the one that takes the most pesticides to raise. It requires herbicides for weed control and to defoliate the plants before machine harvesting. It is also a 'hungry crop', requiring the heavy use of fertilizers, most of which are chemical unless the crop is organic.
Pesticides are bad for the planet, its wildlife, and its people. They kill beneficial insects like bees, and they are also toxic to those who apply them to crops and to the workers who cultivate and harvest the cotton. In developing countries where much of the world's cotton is grown, worker health is ignored to a large degree. Many are trying to raise awareness in these regions, but illiteracy and poverty mean that many are unaware or helpless to fight the problem.
Hemp requires no pesticides in its cultivation. Although it is in the same family as marijuana, it is not a hallucinogen. This wonderful crop has been banned for years in many areas, but it is making a comeback - and it can't be too soon. Those who want to protect the world's waters from chemical pollution, take heed.
Hemp is naturally insecticidal. It grows densely so it crowds out weeds and needs no herbicides to thrive. Farmers who grow hemp don't have to ride around in great clouds of toxic chemicals, the use of which has made farming one of the most unhealthy professions. Farmers can protect the health of themselves and their families while saving money they have been spending on chemicals.
They can save on fertilizers, too. Nitrogen is produced by the hemp plant to enrich the soil without needing much outside help. This crop is often used as a rotation for fields that have been depleted by corn, cotton, or other 'hungry' plants.
It can grow in all 50 of the United States, being frost tolerant, suitable for many different types of soil, and requiring relatively little water. This is truly a miracle plant, which deserves much more exposure than it gets. By supporting hemp manufacturers of textiles and other goods, you can encourage the cultivation of this valuable crop.
This plant grows densely, so it is great weed control. It yields a healthy seed and oil, with balanced essential fatty acids. It can be used for fuel, non-petroleum plastics, paint, paper, and more. If we all look for hemp products, we can help explode the prejudice against this wonderful renewable resource.
