But it is also used in japanese drinks and healing remedys and almost every
The process to create the paper does not involve releasing harmful toxins like tree paper processing does. The largest benefit of using hemp as paper is the fact that hemp can harvest in just four months after being planted. Trees can take tens to hundreds of years to be ready for harvest. The fact that deforestation due to tree paper processing destroys the habitats for thousands of animals also must be taken into consideration and adds to the list of reasons why hemp needs to be grown in the U.S. In addition to the use of hemp as paper, an equally valuable and environmentally friendly use of hemp is as a source of
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.
This is quite an efficient method of production and the amount of the PHB polymer yielded is around 30-80% of the dry weight of the micro-organisms used. Even though this method is efficient it is still not quite economically viable as there is the high cost of using the agar solution, petri dishes and the removal of the nitrogen. More recently as this biopolymers potential to society has become more prominent, scientists are trying to develop more efficient and sustainable means to produce it. In 1992 the idea of using genetically modified plants to produce PHB was developed at Michigan State University. By using the genes from two bacteria producing organisms such as Alcaligenes Eutrophus, they could insert them into cress plants with the aim of these plants producing the PHB.
There is currently one major competitor in the specialty foods business is the chain Whole Foods. The foot print of Whole Foods is so large and has a larger market share than Kudler, they would be able to cut into Kudler’s competitive advantage of being the only specialty food store within their operating locations. There are more super chains such as Wal-Mart are starting to carry organic foods at their notoriously low prices. Wal-Mart is not only starting to offer organic items, but they are saving money by doing it. “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).
"A Brief History of Sugar." A Brief History. 11 Oct 2008 <http://www.irish- sugar.ie/noframes/nf-pages/nf-hist/nf-hist.htm#productn> Sugar cane is a member of the grass family. The sugar cane has hollow stalks filled with a sweet juice or sap from which sugar can be extracted and can grow to 15 feet tall. It grows best in very warm climates and is ready to harvest after 10 to 20 months.
Not only is hemp one of the most productive plants known to man it can create upwards of 25,000 applications (Priensitz). Even our country’s original Declaration of Independence was drafted on paper made of 100 percent, pure hemp (Hightower).
Vegetable sources of protein, such as beans, nuts, and whole grains, are excellent choices, and they offer healthy fiber, vitamins and minerals. My vegetable intake is 2.1 cups and my recommended intake is the equivalent to 2.5 cups a day. The difference between the two is only .4 cups. Not too bad from what I am supposed to be taking. Vegetables have very good nutrients so when picking vegetables one should choose a variety of colors to get a variety of nutrients.
Hemp is a crop that can be grown for food and non-food purposes and made into over 25,000 different products. As a result of its numerous nutritional benefits many new food products containing hemp seeds and its oils are finding their way into the market place. As a fiber source hemp is undergoing a rapid growth as a natural fiber. The combined retail value of hemp products sold in the United States in 2010 was $420 million. So a government that once thought of hemp as the wealth and protection of this nation now is the only country that has outlaws the industrialized growth of this valuable resource and is missing out on the benefits of hemp.
The Aztec’s used the Chinampa way of farming which made them have highly productive gardens that not only let them farm the land but let them get the water that they used to grow the crop back. They were able to farm a lot of crops like sweet potatoes, maize [corn], tomatoes, avocados, beans, squashes and other plants. While what they call the lowland tropical crops such as papaya, cotton, cocoa were planted and harvested. * The crops that were planted were their main source of food they rarely hunted animals as
