My first impressions of the Nubian Heritage hair care products. I’ve used these products for just about 2 weeks and thought I would share my initial feelings. I purchased these items at a BOGO sale at my local Walgreens to aid in a “crisis” attempt with my hair! lol! To see the back story, view my unLucky #13 video! I reviewed the Grow & Strengthen Line including the Indian Hemp & Tamanu Herbal Custard, Treatment Masque, and Edge Taming Taffy. I will review the Keratin Masque at a later date.

GreenRushReview.com Reports Marijuana Industry Among The Best Industries For Entrepreneurs in 2015

posted in: Cannabis | 0


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 19, 2015

GreenRushReview.com, a cannabis business news website recently reported that with marijuana being legal for medical use in over 23 states and the potential for it to soon be legal for recreational use in four, the marijuana industry is among the best industries for entrepreneurs in 2015.

Business publication Inc.com reports that although the legal cannabis industry is still very young, there is already very strong demand for all forms of cannabis – whether medical or recreational, edibles, extracts, or concentrates. The industry is flourishing and is expected to grow even bigger as more states legalize the herb.

The same INC article also reveals that in the first quarter of 2014, the state of Colorado had already raised $ 25 million from businesses for licenses, fees, and taxes. Marijuana’s retail market in Colorado generated a whopping $ 350 million revenue for 2014, and is predicted to grow by 20 percent this year and reach $ 420 million.

Cannabis has become a major industry in the United States, particularly after Colorado allowed for the sale of recreational cannabis in early 2014. According to IBISWorld, revenue for the medical marijuana growing industry has increased 16 percent per year in the last five years, thus amounting to approximately $ 2 billion in 2014.

Examples of companies successfully capitalizing on the cannabis boom are plentiful. One rising star featured on GreenRushReview.com is India Globalization Capital, Inc. which builds indoor vertical farms that utilize state-of-the-art technology to produce organic leafy green vegetables, but whose facilities will eventually allow them to grow legal cannabis.

With countless untapped business opportunities in the marijuana field, Inc.com mentions that the first movers in the industry are likely already on their way to long-term viability.

According to a Forbes.com article, the marijuana industry is a desirable sector to enter primarily because its customers are big spenders. A cannabis consumer typically spends an average of $ 1,869 on their habit annually, as opposed to Americans spending roughly $ 1,500 each year on their pets.

GreenRushReview.com strives to be a convenient and reliable online resource for all cannabis consumers, entrepreneurs and investors. The website aims to provide the general public with extensive coverage on news, and opinions on the multi-billion marijuana industry and culture in North America, including industry stocks, prices, implications, trend developments, investment opportunities and legislation.

The site also hosts a cannabis industry directory, related videos, articles, company profiles and press releases.

The term “Green Rush” refers to the swift surge of activity brought about by the legalization of medical marijuana in over 23 states, and the acceptance of comprehensive cannabis and medical marijuana programs.

GreeRushReview.com is part of a portfolio of cannabis industry sites, which includes http://www.BestMedicalMarijuanaStocks.com (top medical marijuana company news), http://www.MarijuanaStocksReport.com (cannabis small cap stock news) and http://www.MarijuanaStock.net (financial cannabis company news).

A Thousand Gallons of Water Required to Make One T-shirt Reports Sharon Kleyne Hour

posted in: Hemp Farming | 0

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) June 18, 2014

The manufacture of a single t-shirt requires an estimated one-thousand gallons of fresh water, including water to grow the cotton. That fact was reported on the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water® radio show by author Brian Clark Howard. As global fresh water shortages and drought continue to increase, show host Kleyne wondered how much progress, if any, has been made in the use of water in t-shirt making, and in water conservation in general, since it was originally discussed on her show.

Regarding water and t-shirts, Kleyne discovered, there has been progress, but not nearly enough. Kleyne’s overall conclusion, after considerable investigation, was that we might not even be asking the right questions. A better question, says Kleyne, is “how many t-shirts can be made by recycling the same 1,000 gallons?”

The globally syndicated Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water® radio show, with host Sharon Kleyne, is heard on the VoiceAmerica Variety and Health and Wellness Channels, and Apple iTunes. Kleyne is Founder of Bio Logic Aqua Research, a research, technology and product development center, and the world’s only company specializing in fresh water, atmosphere and health. Natures Tears® EyeMist® is the Research Center’s global signature product for dry eyes.

Brian Clark Howard is a former National Geographic reporter who now hosts a website dedicated to environmental issues (http://www.brianclarkhoward.com). His latest conservation book is Build your Own Small Wind Power System (McGraw-Hill, 2011).

Growing cotton, according to Kleyne’s recent investigation, requires sunshine and warm weather but only a moderate amount of water. Cotton lends itself to irrigation in desert areas, which is why cotton is a major crop in California’s Imperial Valley, Southern Great Plains, and Egypt.

Cotton is also well suited for dry land farming, Kleyne discovered. In this method, organic mulch is used to retain water while pesticides and irrigation are not required. Because dry land farming reduces yield per acre, the method remains experimental (Chapman, AK, et al. “The water footprint of cotton consumption, Ecological Economics, November , 2006; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921800905005574).    

A recent Huffington Post article, says Kleyne, stated that a t-shirt made of hemp fiber required “500 fewer gallons of water” to produce than a cotton t-shirt (Schroeder, E, “The ‘Other’ Hemp,” Huffington Post, June 3, 2014. The article provided no reference citations). Hemp plants were described in the article as “highly drought and pest resistant.”

While fresh water conservation is desirable during a water shortage, Kleyne believes that in many areas, cutting back on water may be unwise. Kleyne adamantly believes that the human body, for example, requires at least eight glasses of fresh water a day and that any less is foolish and dangerous. However, says Kleyne, it is theoretically possible to recycle and purify most of the water in those eight glasses so that the same water may be reused at a later dater.    

Since the Howard interview, the ongoing California drought has substantially deepened and the nation’s most agriculturally productive state, supported by a vast and complex network of dams, reservoirs and aqueducts, is on the verge of failing. As a result, farmers are turning more and more to ground water mining (J Famiglietti, “How Bad is California’s Epic Drought?” TakePart.com, 2-22-14; http://www.takepart.com/article/2014/02/22/epic-california-drought-and-groundwater-how-far-have-we-come).

Kleyne continues to believe, in 2014, that although water conservation is crucial, especially during a water shortage, water recycling is even more important. Kleyne has observed that when crops are irrigated, even with drip irrigation, the vast majority of the water is not used by crop plants and either soaks into the ground, runs off or evaporates. That unused water, says Kleyne, could be captured and recycled over and over.    

Kleyne also believes that fresh water for personal consumption and sanitation should be free or virtually free and that providing safe and abundant water is one of the most important functions of government to stimulate economic growth and assure a healthy population.
