Hemp: Good For Production, Better For The Environment
“As a reminder, industrial hemp, the non-intoxicating form of cannabis that grows to 13 feet in 100 days, is grown for fiber, cloth, oil, plastics, food and other purposes, making it one of the fastest CO2-to-biomass conversion tools available. Industrial hemp has been proven to absorb more CO2 per acre than any forest or commercial crop, making it the ideal carbon sink,” Thomas said.
While in DC, Thomas also met Reta Jo Lewis, president and chair of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), the official export credit agency of the U.S. and an independent Executive Branch agency with a mission of supporting American jobs by facilitating the export of U.S. goods and services.
"Our vision is to provide carbon-capturing hemp-based products and solutions for as many companies as imaginable across the world to improve upon their current carbon footprint and meet their short-term and long-term ESG and sustainability initiatives to the betterment of all humankind,” concluded Thomas.
