Hemp is so remarkable, that when you buy clothing made from it, you are making a wise choice. Industrial hemp is very sustainable as a crop and has a low cost to produce. Hemp is absolutely bio-degradable and anything that is made from it will one day decompose without hurting the planet. Farmers who cultivate industrial hemp have reported harvesting up to 5 or more tons of usable fibers in less than 4 months. This gives them several harvests per year.

Hemp conserves a large amount of trees through paper production. Hemp based paper is of high quality and has good durability when compared to paper made from trees. One acre of hemp will produce the equivalent of four acres of trees in paper and do it with much faster cycles. Hemp paper also does not yellow as it gets older. It can be recycled more times than paper from trees.

Hemp can also be used as a clean fuel source. In spite of all the protest against arable land being used for fuel, hemp can be made viable without using up too much food producing land. Hemp has hydrocarbons in it that can be made into biomass energy in the form of bio-diesel. You can use bio-diesel in any vehicle made to run on diesel without any modifications. Burning bio-diesel has little negative impact on our air quality and doesn't release carbon dioxide. Cotton cannot do any of these things.

Many countries and companies have found great success in manufacturing with bi-products from industrial hemp. The products we use every day can be made better and are more environmentally friendly then products enhance with petroleum based products. This is found in the plastics that can be made from hemp oils. Auto manufacturers can make panels and many other components form hemp based resins. It is said to have the strength of carbon fiber.

Hemp is great for many uses in our everyday lives. Finding ways to use it and changing laws that prevent it should be a priority for all. Hemp as an alternative resource works so well because it is economically and environmentally viable and renewable. Hemp clothing is a great way to show your environmental awareness.
