Organic and hemp clothing

Organic and hemp clothingHemp requires no pesticides or fertilizers and much less water than other crops. Hemp grows quickly (70 to 110 days) producing crops once a year, unlike trees which take many years to grow to a usable size. Hemp uses minimal nutrients from the soil and hemps long roots aerate the soil, leaving it rich for future crops. Hemp fiber can be used to make a stronger wood substitute for paper, fine cloth, canvas and can be whitened using less environmentally harmful chemicals than are used to make paper from trees. Approximately 25% of all insecticides and more than 10% of the pesticides used in the world are used to grow cotton.   It takes 1/3 lb. of pesticides and fertilizers to produce enough cotton to make just one t-shirt.   Organically grown cotton uses beneficial insects and biological and cultural practices to control pests and build strong soil.   Each year, non-organic cotton producers around the world use nearly $2.6 billion worth of pesticides.
