Hemp use will spare trees, as it produces four times as much usuable plant material per acre, and on a yearly basis at that. Its processing does not require toxic chlorine compounds. Hemp used in place of cotton will also be beneficial to the environment as well. Hemp may be utilized for fuel, oil, food, fabric, paper, building boards, soaps, shampoos, and glue. The shape of our culture influences and reflects the values of our society.
Present trends are towards creating a culture that is synonymous with consumer society.

Essential for a Green future is the development of a green aesthetic. Increased funding unencumbered by political agenda is needed for the arts.
