Ethanol is a healthy alternative to oil. Using food crops to produce oil aids our independence but, it also has the potential to drain our food supply, especially in a time of emergency. All these things give example of the many ways hemp oil could potentially replace our dependence on foreign oils and propel us into more eco-friendly options to sustain our daily lives. The plant would benefit people if we were to let it thrive and have taxes on different productions. The author closes by saying the government is preventing farmers from growing hemp for any reason and spends four billion dollars a year trying to keep it
Like the “E3 Diamond Fire Spark Plugs”. They increase your performance and efficiency in comparison to cheaper brands. They actually deliver a larger spark to the combustion chamber. In doing this it boosts the horse power and burns the excess fuel making them more efficient. Next we want to find a good style of plug wires the best style to use is one that

“By distributing locally, [Wal-Mart] said it saved 112,000 gallons of diesel and total freight expense of more than $1.4 million” (Hoffman, 2008, p. 1). One direction to help stifle such threats through added technology is through Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips. These are chips that are embedded on products packaging for the purposes of tracking. This will help to mitigate any losses due to shrinkage and other factors such as obsolescence. Also, “These embedded microchips let employees know when to restock empty shelves and track in-store advertising” (Joseph, 2009, p.
Many of the products that are made from plastic contribute to many people’s lives. Without them, many of our products wouldn’t exist and make others more expensive. Even though plastics are the largest ingredients in our landfills, most of them can be recycled. It reduces the energy cost of making them from scratch again. They can also reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Hemp could be an easy more efficient and more environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. For hundreds of years hemp was used to make various commercial products like paper, rope, canvas and textiles. Many years ago hemp was unjustly banned. However, hemp has recently been rediscovered as a plant that has enormous environmental, economic, and commercial potential. The major problems with cotton are that the plantations require a lot of herbicides and pesticides, they use a lot fertilizer and they use up massive quantities of water.
Before paper made of wood pulp was in common use, people used to write on hemp products, but the widespread use of hemp was phased out. As the hemp industry dwindled, China became the world’s leading producer of hemp, and now the US imports more hemp than any other country. Hemp can feed the world-Hemp seeds are frequently in the news today due to their many health benefits. They can be eaten raw and easily added to routinely-eaten meals such as cereals or granola. For maximum nutritional value they can be sprouted and eaten with salads or in sandwiches.
The bottle uses sixty percent less PET plastic and is among the most environmentally responsible packaging out there. Eco-Shape(TM) is credited with reducing Nestle Waters' carbon emission equivalents by more than 356,000 tons since 2007 – the equivalent to removing 78,000 cars from the road. Eco-Shape(TM) also features a label that is 35 percent smaller on average than the previous label, saving nearly 10 million pounds of paper annually.12 An even newer solution emerging in the bottled water market is bio-plastic bottles made 100 percent from plants. The most popular, made from Green Planet Bottling and Keystone Water Company. The bottles are toxin-free and carbon neutral, compared to popular plastic bottles containing petroleum.
Producing cars that are more efficient and improving gadgets in the buildings help immensely to reduce the power consumption. Simply turning off computer monitors every night saved the United Technologies Corp. $100,000 in just one facility. Using sensors to turn off lights also can save energy consumption by 5%.These would also help so that our reserves can stay exactly that, reserved. Our dependency on other countries causes us to be less responsible with our reserves. Lessening our dependency on oil will help us to leave the reserved oil alone.
this is a great number compared to the expenses caused by the dust bowl which were according to the drought.unl.edu site only one billion US dollars. Even though the 1987-1989 drought had less impact on the people, it had a greater impact on the government. The government used the experience of the dust blow, and had a surplus of grain and other crops stored in case of another drought or other natural disasters. According to the most recent data from statemaster.com, the United States has produced over 7 billion 367 million dollars worth of surplus food. Even though according to ncdc.noaa.gov site the 1987-1989 drought at its peak only covered 36 percent of the united states
