Hemp is the most durable of natural fibers.

Hemp is also a very Eco-friendly crop. It requires no pesticides and needs little water, yet it renews the soil with each growth cycle. It’s long roots prevent erosion and help retain topsoil. Hemp grows readily in most temperate regions.

In many ways, hemp could be considered a miracle fiber. Consider the advantages:

    There’s a small eco boutique I talk about all the time (trying to promote small eco businesses) that sells hemp clothing along with lots of other sustainable options- organic clothes, fair trade, ethically produced- all sorts of good things!
