How big of on impact would switching from fossil fuels to hemp ethanol have on the environment?
Filed under More Green IdeasAug 10Couldn’t this single switch reduce the impact people put on the environment astronomically? Also to start using hemp for paper rather than all the pollution and deforestation from using timber?
Best reply by Frank:
Where do you think hemp grows? The use of ethanol that is made from corn has already been a problem. People are cutting down trees to grow corn, and the price of corn has spiked, making this dietary staple too expensive for many people in poorer countries to afford.
If we convert more corn farms (or wheat farms, or whatever) to hemp farms, people will go hungry.
