● It has been determined that a single ton of hemp can absorb 1.63 tonnes ( 1.8 tons ) of CO2 when converted into carbon equivalents .
● We can reduce our carbon footprint by substituting hemp for conventional crops such as cotton , which has a higher carbon footprint . Through this strategy , more traditional crops will be dispensed with , thereby reducing the adverse effects of climate change .
Hemp is now being use by home builders from the foundations up . Hemp concrete is stronger than traditional concrete and lighter .
To combat climate change , scientists have discovered that hemp could play a crucial role in fighting this problem . It is remarkable to find out that one ton of hemp can store 0.445 tons of carbon ( or 1.63 tons of carbon dioxide ). In other words , planting hemp could be one of the most efficient ways to sequester carbon dioxide from our atmosphere , thus ensuring a cleaner , greener environment .
As we can see from the list above , hemp is a versatile material that can serve a variety of purposes for our planet and future generations . This can be as simple as clothing or as complex as construction materials to as simple as reducing carbon dioxide emissions . For our environment to be improved , we must continue to use sustainable practices and products to continue to make it better . There is no better example of sustainability than hemp , which is the architype of it .
