How many people are dying annually from NOT growing hemp?
By Eric Skidmore
5,000 - 10,000 deaths yearly from pesticide-related cancers.
Cotton uses 40% of pesticides (in U.S.; 11-15% worldwide).
Cotton is grown on 5 million acres.
Cotton causes 2,000 - 4,000 deaths yearly (from pesticides).
If 1 million acres of hemp were to replace 1 million acrees of cotton,
1 million acres of hemp saves 400-800 lives!
Chlorine (used to bleach tree pulp for paper) causes 10% of all
cancers.
That's another story.
