  1. Hemp as a catalyst for climate change COP26:Role Of Hemp In Reducing Carbon Emissions

  2. INSIGHTS FROM COP26 • The IPCC study on climate change issued a code red warning earlier this year, revealing the catastrophic status of the ecosystem. • The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report did not mince words when it came to the environmental harm caused by greenhouse gases. • Without "immediate, fast, and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions," the 1.5C warming target would be missed, according to the report. • The rate of warming over the last 2000 years has been "unprecedented," and that human influence has played a role in making the planet hotter is "unequivocal

  3. CARCINOGENICITY AND HEMP • Hemp can absorb CO2, which contributes to climate change. The greenhouse effect is created by heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide. • This increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which traps more heat and causes the earth to heat up. • Hemp can absorb up to 15 tons of CO2 per acre and transforms fast. It absorbs more CO2 than any other crop or type of commercial forestry. • Hemp uses four times as much CO2 as trees but grows far quicker, taking only 12 to 14 weeks to mature.

  4. CONTRIBUTION TO PLASTIC PRODUCTION • Plastic pollution is a major issue, particularly in our seas. Because it is not biodegradable, tiny bits, bottles, or microparticles accumulate in our oceans, expanding in size to the point where we may have more plastic than fish if we continue. • According to 2016 research, the ocean would contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish by 2025, and more plastics than fish by 2050. • Hemp may be converted into a multitude of various products as a biodegradable alternative to plastic. When the fibres from hemp stems are removed, what is left is 77 percent cellulose • Hemp plants can also assist to purify the air and soil by storing carbon. This is why hemp plants were grown in the aftermath of the 1986 Chernobyl tragedy.

  5. THE REVOLUTIONARY FROM THE FUTURE • Using hemp biomass fuel instead of fossil fuels may be a more ecologically friendly alternative that emits less CO2 into the atmosphere. • When it comes to denim, a large quantity of water is consumed in the manufacturing process, and the dyes have damaged entire rivers in China. • Slow fashion is being used by businesses to help mitigate the impact. Hemp is used to creating products such as hemp cloth, denim, and fur. • They provide a biodegradable yet durable alternative that is frequently quite breathable. • Because hemp has antimicrobial characteristics, it can aid in the prevention of odor-causing microorganisms in textiles. • For more such cool content, visit www.Hemptology.co.uk or mail us at info@hemptology.co.uk
