Will hemp save the world?

 Over the summer I saw a post on Instagram from my friend who owns a sustainable vintage shop. The post had information about hemp being a sustainable textile. I was already aware of the medical benefits of hemp / cbd but the post sparked an interest in me to learn more about the hemp textile industry. When this project was introduced I immediately began reading articles about hemp as a sustainable source.
Upon my research I have found that Hemp can be used as:

  • biodegradable plastic
  • paper
  • food
  • animal feed
  • biofuel
  • insulation
  • and more
The list contains valuable resources that countries have gone to war over and our Earth is simply running out of. For my project I would like to create images envisioning a sustainable future ran by hemp.

potential ideas for my images are:
  • Magazine covers ie. hemp fashion, medicine, architecture
  • Product Ad
  • Gas station supported by hemp
  • Hemp online store (clothes, food, etc.)

  1. This is a great topic and inventive ideas for approaching it. You might consider creating a future environment (say a house, office or business) that is hemp built, decorated, inhabited, sustained, etc.
