[NV Greens] Resurgent Industrial Hemp in The Age of Cosmic Genealogy on Earth

[Barb Ewing]

Green Party of Nevada - 

Vastly increased worldwide production (re-introduction in the USA) of industrial hemp - locally grown, processed and manufactured into locally consumed products (and exported/imported where in order) - is a realistic response among others to "Peak Oil" in The Age of Cosmic Genealogy on Earth.  

Any product made from petroleum (including high octane gasoline) can be made from industrial hemp.  Industrial hemp seeds can produce food such as bread, hempburgers, milk and ice cream.   Industrial hemp fiberboard has been demonstrated to be twice the strength of wood fiberboard.  "Hempcrete" blocks, "lighter, stronger and easier to work with than masonry concrete," have been manufactured from industrial hemp at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota (start-up costs were under $10,000.00).

"Microbiology may be said to have had its beginnings in the nineteen-forties.  A new world of the most astonishing complexity began then to be revealed.  In retrospect I find it remarkable that microbiologists did not at once recognize that the world into which they had penetrated had of necessity to be of cosmic order.  I suspect that the cosmic quality of microbiology will seem as obvious to future generations as the Sun being the centre of the solar system seems obvious to the present generation." (Sir Fred Hoyle, 1980, concluding a University lecture at the Sherman Theatre in Cardiff with the title "The Relation of Biology to Astronomy").

The Age of Cosmic Genealogy on Earth, beginning with human cognition of the oneness of all life and culminating in the coming of age of humankind (as a conscious participant in the infinite continuum of life), highlights the role and promise of education keyed to forelaws of human empathy and compassion.
