Hemp Paper - An Alternative To Deforestation

Precious Ecosystems are the backbone of our planet, whether we like to admit it or not. We need each other to survive and to keep the cycle of life going.

Unfortunately, these ecosystems don't stand much of a chance when they are faced with a dozen bulldozers and multi billion dollar companies. Every year , millions of forest acreage are destroyed along with any wildlife contained within it for paper.

This practice is not sustainable to say the least. Compare it to the human race. What would happen if the human population died faster than it could reproduce? Yep, we would become extinct. It might take a while, but it would be inevitable.

The same applies to trees. If we destroy more than is being reproduced, the consequences to us could be deadly. Forests absorb carbon dioxide and we already know that there's just too much of that already in the atmosphere. They are also home to a number of species that are a part of the food chain, and that chain includes us.

There are, however, alternatives to deforestation. Tree free paper made from hemp and post-consumer recycled paper. Hemp is sustainable, renewable and can be used in an array of products including paper and enveloppes.
