What do we make paper out of - even if a small amount of it does get recycled - trees.

Stop cutting down trees - they absorb vast amounts of carbon dioxide and they put out oxygen and also water vapour which falls as rain.

That is a good thing.

Man made fibre is a petroleum derivative. Hemp fibre is made by a plant which absorbs carbon dioxide, which is a good thing.

You can make really good paper out of it, and lots of other stuff too, and you can grow it in far more places that you can get oil out of, including you own garden.   

Hemp plants do not need pesticides, another petroleum derivative, the water requirements are modest, and most of it ends up in the air, and falls as rain. It also put out oxygen all day long.

Having breathable air and clean water is a good thing. Having tons of carbon dioxide locked up in plants is a good thing.

As has been said several times - hemp does not equal smokeable dope. The type used for making British bank notes, for instance doesn't have the chemical in it to give a high. I repeat this for the slow of understanding.

A huge industry dedicated to extracting gas and oil, (and spoiling so much water as it does so), and selling it's products for vast amounts of money to be used in oh so many ways - could that ever be a good thing?
