Traveling America in a B100 biodiesel short-bus decorated with “What can hemp do…” graphics and a fine looking man in a sport-coat behind the steering-wheel can be quite adventurous. Venturing from Denver, Colorado, towards Eastern America, this road trip has one purpose: to educate U.S. citizens about hemp

“The initial course was 4 months, and we left January 28^th,” said Rick Trojan, Hemp Road Trip founder, speaker, and driver. “We wanted to go around to talk with people and start educating, on a grassroots level, about this (hemp) plant and this crop… We have met people from farmers, to students, to teachers, to just regular citizens.”

Filling in The Gaps: A Sustainable Solution in Hemp Fabrics

By webadminNews

Hot? Cold? Worried about infection? Wrap yourself in hemp!

By: Brad Shannon

Did you know? One of the oldest relics of human history is a piece of hemp fabric dating back to around 8,000 B.C. Betsy Ross is said to have sewn the first U.S. flag from hemp fabric, and the canvas used to make the first pair of Levi’s was even made from hemp fiber.

Today, what’s old is new again, as hemp textiles are being used to make countless items, from apparel to shoes to housewares to furniture upholstery.

The case for using hemp to make fabrics is clear. In addition to the benefits it provides from its growth cycle – enriching the soil and absorbing carbon dioxide from the air, hemp produces 250% more fiber per acre than cotton, 600% more than flax, and uses much less water than cotton to grow. Where cotton farmers use more insecticides than most any other crop grown, hemp uses very little in the way of chemicals for its cultivation.

Hemp Nutrition and Wellness at Third Annual NoCo Hemp Expo

By webadminNews

Many have taken a liking to the nutty, protein and omega packed hemp seed over the years. High in essential amino acids, omegas 3, 6, and 9, and other vitamins including Zinc, Iron, and Magnesium, this long-outlawed “cash crop” is also a natural anti-inflammatory, making hemp a superfood/health supplement that is taking the nutritional market by storm in 2016.

“According to GrubHub Inc., an online and mobile food ordering company, demand for trending health foods such as chia seeds and quinoa increased more than 100% in the last year. Hemp grew 110% with women in the past year which overcame demand for chia seeds in the GrubHub study.”
