| A
Sustainable Natural Economy For Our Future |

Hemp is a plant with the potential to provide valuable ecological solutions to help our civilization transform its economy to a more natural one. All energy for life on earth comes from the sun through plants. In order to create a sustainable cycle for life, a viable economy must be based on renewable carbohydrates (plants) — the vital alternative to non-renewable hydrocarbons (petroleum and other fossil fuels). The primary reason that our civilization is out of balance with the environment is because it depends too heavily on fossil fuels for energy and resource needs. The exploitation of stored solar energy locked into fossil fuels by prehistoric plants releases enormous quantities of carbon dioxide and other pollutants that threaten our health, our future economy, and, ultimately, the sustainability of our presence and that of other species on this planet. Today, with the very real environmental threats such as global warming, a plant-based economy presents a solution to this crisis. When we utilize plants as our primary resource for energy and other materials, we come back into balance, creating a closed loop that does not generate pollution.
We can create a sustainable path by holistically integrating human activity into the ecosystems that sustain us. We must do this in all of our extraction, cultivation, manufacturing, engineering, packaging, distribution, regulation, and consumption activities.

As our civilization realizes that there is no real separation between humankind and nature, we become more able to attain a state of sustainable evolution, transforming society and restoring the health of our planet. Beyond survival, we have a wonderful opportunity here. This planet, our home, is a priceless and beautiful jewel, and, if we respect and appreciate this, we can transform our relationship with our environment on a profound level.
In order to develop a sustainable economy and provide a healthier standard of living for our future, we must work with plants and develop agricultural and processing methods that don't harm our environment. Hemp is a plant with enormous potential in this regard. It is the fastest growing agricultural crop and is gentle on the land, requiring no chemicals in its cultivation. Hemp provides a cornucopia of valuable uses, including textiles, energy generation, paper, construction materials, non-woven composite materials for automobiles and other industries, bio-plastics, food, cosmetics, and more. Also, since hemp is biodegradable and natural, it will not become part of the rubbish that is filling our landfills or polluting our world. |

The Energy For Life |
|
Ecology can be described as the study of the relationship of organisms to their physical environment and to one another. In a broader view, ecology encompasses all life and is about relationships, balance, and how everything is interconnected. When we ignore the needs of other species and the environment as a whole, we damage our own quality of life and threaten our existence on this planet. This realization gave birth to environmentalism, which can be described as the movement to protect the quality and continuity of life through conservation of natural resources, prevention of pollution, and beneficial land use while respecting and appreciating our natural world. Environmentalism is not an abstract or radical concept; it is a fundamental response of the human species to preserve itself.

An ecosystem may be as small as a tidal pool or a rotting log or as large as an ocean or a continent-spanning forest. Each ecosystem consists of a community of plants and animals in an environment that supplies them with raw materials for life. The energy necessary for all life processes reaches the earth in the form of sunlight. By photosynthesis, green plants convert light energy into chemical energy; carbon dioxide and water are transformed into sugar, which is then stored in the plant. The energy for life on earth can only be replenished by green plants absorbing and converting solar energy.
