#SaveTheTrees

[estrolatte]

I feel like an important message is trying to be communicated to me but I have no idea what it is

Our forests are being cut down 3x faster than they can grow! One acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4.1 acres of trees!!! This is super useful for so many things, especially paper production! In addition, hemp takes in carbon dioxide 4x as fast as trees do, which makes it especially valuable in the act of reducing CO2 emissions/greenhouse gases! 🌲🌲🌲 source

#the scope of the anti-hemp conspiracy in the united states is terrifying once you start doing research tbh#like it was initially smeared/banned bc lumber lobbyists pushed for it to be…#and a major smear tactic was to associate it with black people#who now a hundred years later are the ones primarily being imprisoned for it#and the plant itself has now been inextricably linked to the drug so people won’t even allow for it to be grown for commercial purposes#like paper making (via literallyfuckeveryone)

Important reminder that industrial hemp can’t be used as a recreational drug, so if anyone tries to pull that card you can just stop them then and there. There are no real arguments against using industrial hemp, even if you’re rigidly against the legalization of any recreational drugs.

AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I never see pro-hemp on my dash, woo!

Usually the argument on why you can’t have hemp is because then people will hide marijuana in it.

yeah, sure…. if they want shitty, shitty marijuana.

It would be like growing sweet corn and dent corn together.  Yeah, they look similar at a distance and they’re closely related, but you don’t want them next to each other as they’ll cross pollinate and you’ll end up with bad versions of both.

Same deal here.  a patch of marijuana grown in an open field of hemp IS going to get contaminated and it’ll lower quality of BOTH crops.  Your hemp farmer doesn’t want that and if likely going rip out any patches trespassers try to add for same reason. 

and the big issue is not even the THC content.  Because most quality marijuana is intended to be grown indoors or greenhouses, its a dwarf variety. Short.  Fiber hemp is bred for height so as to maximize fiber production.  super tall. It’s going to be really obvious, really fast if you’ve got both in the same field even before you get to the point of pollination. what’s this runty bullshit doing in my field?

They also have different growing needs with regards to spacing, harvest time, etc. so the argument that you can hide marijuana in industrial hemp fields are basically bullshit.

anyway… aside from paper, hemp fiber can also be used to make earthquake resistant concrete that’s actually LIGHTER than conventional concrete while being stronger. It’s better at resisting flexing or warping, so ideal for stuff like bridges and highway supports as it’ll better resist large temperature swings and vibration. (”hempcrete” is slightly different, but makes great fire resistant insulation)

You can also use the waste after fiber harvest for animal fodder, including silage. Comparable to corn. and remember, that’s the waste after you’ve harvested for fiber!

this “gal pal” narrative is getting real old, my dude

On September 9th a national prison labor strike starts. I 100% support this action, and every demand that is being made- if this is the first you’re hearing of this or you’re uncertain of what exactly this entails, please take the time to read up before the 9th, so we’re all prepared to defend the strikers actions and demands when they get smeared in the media. Prisoners are human beings who should receive adequate food, living conditions, medical care, and mental health treatment without being subjected to coercive work requirements, nor should they be faced with extended sentences or violence for refusing to work.

this is tomorrow!! Be ready!!

My uncle is fifty-four. He’s spent more years in prison than out in his lifetime, starting way back when he was seventeen. My uncle is an addict. Now, he’s been out of prison and has steered clear of the addictions that led him to prison for six years, and my issue with his convictions is another story entirely.

But my uncle was already a master carpenter when he went into prison, and a talented artist. The prison system of the United States had my uncle working for contractors to design and work on buildings for something like a dollar and fifty cents an hour, while promising him that every two days he worked, he would get a day off his sentence. (Anyone want to take a wild guess just how true that was?) And all those years working and spent in a prison cell, my uncle actually got better at his art and his skill. I started sending him books based on my major, botany, and he actually started working on designs that incorporated plants and solar power, from what he understood of the subjects. True solarpunk.

At fifty, when my uncle was released, he was happy to be out. Only for the prison system to try and force him back in. A minor drug charge from thirty years back, after he’d already been in prison for twenty, and a judge wanted to send him back for another ten years.

Don’t think for a second it wasn’t because the privatized prison system was profiting off him, and don’t think for one moment that he is somehow special. The privatized prison system uses prisoners as firefighters, as clean-up crews, as “contractors” for private companies, doing everything from sewing your bedclothes to building the house you live in. And they make almost nothing, then get out of prison and find the skills they acquired in prison mean shit, because no one will hire them and they can’t vote to change that.

My uncle is fifty-four years old and he has spent most of his life in prison, not even for a violent crime, mind you. He and his friends got caught smoking weed in an apartment, some twenty years back, and one of the people there had some coke on them. The judge “made an example” of them all, and they all got ten-fifteen year sentences. They all spent a decade and longer having their skills exploited with promises that never came through.

Just like everyone else in the prison system today.

Support the strike.

concept: me, 10 years from now, living in a pretty house with my love, sipping a hot cappuccino on a rainy autumn afternoon. our dog curls up next to me in the window bench while our cat snoozes on the bed. i’m financially stable and i’m never tired anymore. the bees are safe.

do you think after Ron and Hermione got out of the trapdoor and raised the alarm and were being patched up in the hospital wing

do you think they were given the most royal proud mama smackdown by McGonagall like “ how DARE you infiltrate a death maze you are ELEVEN and miss granger how on earth did you solve my chessboard i”

and hermione interjected like “oh professor it wasn’t me. i’m useless at chess. it was ron.”

and McGonagall turned to look at Ron Weasley in total amazement at this 11 yr old kid who had been pretty ordinary in all her classes but had apparently beaten her in death chess and he just shrugged like “rookie mistakes, professor. you made some rookie mistakes.”

[fayemorgana]

#AND THIS WAS THE DAY MCGONAGALL LEARNED NOT TO UNDERESTIMATE RON WEASLEY#AND HE NEVER GOT A BREAK FROM HER EVER AGAIN#‘you beat me in death chess i’m sure you can handle transfiguring an owl into a spoon mr weasley’#ron weasley#‘damnit i should have just let myself be killed in there she’s making me LEARN THINGS’ (via alchemistc)
