  6. Our Team

  7. Did You Know? • Growing cotton uses about 23% of all the insecticides used globally • Growing enough cotton for one t-shirt requires 257 gallons of water • Bleaching and dying the resulting cotton fabric creates toxins that flow into our ecosystem Fortunately, we have an eco-friendly alternative…

  8. Hemp Defined • The most useful plant known to man • Used to make over 25,000 different products like clothing, paper, rope, canvas, paints, fuels, food, cosmetics, soap, etc. • Natural fiber product of the Cannabis sativa plant (bred to yield long fibers) • Alternative to cotton/polyester/rayon/etc.

  9. Myths about Hemp • Myth 1: You can get “high” off of hemp. • Fact: Less than 0.3% THC – High amounts of CBD  No amount can get a person “high”. • Myth 2: United States law has always treated hemp and marijuana the same. • Fact: The history of federal drug laws clearly shows that at one time the U.S. government understood and accepted the distinction between hemp and marijuana

  11. Why Hemp? • Durable • Several times stronger than cotton • More resistant to abrasion, rips, shrinkage, etc. • Renewable • Naturally fertilizes the soil for future crops • Matures in as little as 100 days, whereas trees mature in 50-100 years • Produces 3 times as much fiber per acre as cotton

  12. Benefits of Hemp • Fibers are highly absorbent • Cool in the summer and warm in the winter • UV resistant • Certified UPF 50+ (max UV protection rate given) • Long lasting • Ages gracefully  gets softer with time

  13. Preserving Our Earth • How Hemp Is Environmentally Friendly: • Requires only a few pesticides and no herbicides • Can be used to restore depleted soils damaged by chemical use • Requires no irrigation as it thrives on the amount of water in an average rainfall • Naturally fertilizes soil for future crops
