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
Everyone most likely has some form of cotton clothes, or cotton fabric used as a product, but you may not know why a person should use hemp instead of cotton? Brain Palmer writes an article “High on Environmentalism.” This article explains why hemp should be legal as to how it applies to be eco friendly and why it should legally be grown in the United States.

The Carbon footprint has become a small fraction of the US greenhouse gas emission due to improved regulations. Concerning air emissions, data has been gained that will be used to help farmers better understand the emissions produced from their operations and allow them to help make improvements wherever possible. For the water footprint, developments are being made to produce a tool that will calculate the water use that is involved in farming operations that will help farm owners identify areas for improved efficiency.
