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.

Organic Farming Versus Conventional Farming System

posted in: Hemp Farming | 0

If you are one of the 81% of farmers still farming conventionally and using chemicals and synthetic fertilizers it is completely understandable.

Why?
Because for decades that’s what has been advocated to the farmer by the industry.

There is so much “proof” – research, trial work, field trials, scientists advocating the merits of conventional farming and you are constantly given proof that you can’t farm profitably without these commercial aids.

Just pick up most farm journals and papers and you’ll find there are reports and editorials which continually reinforce the use of conventional farming products and practices as the only viable way to farm. Sometimes there are reports tossed in to discredit natural farming as being noncommercial and unrealistic. We are told time and time again that conventional industrial farming is the only way we can feed the growing world’s population. Organic farming has lower yields, is more expensive and there is no extra nutritional benefit in the food produced.

Learning a Secrets on Farming can help you on understanding the disbelief that you may have that you can farm without chemicals and synthetic fertilizers and natural biological farming is not viable.

It’s not your fault. It is very hard to give up the trust you have had or still have got in the conventional system and no doubt you have much support in following the system.

However there is a better way for healthier and more profitable farming.

– Trust your eyes. See for yourself.
– Trust what other farmers who have made a change have done.
– Trial some aspects yourself.
– Listen to the new breed of professionals who have witnessed the fantastic turn around farmers have achieved and are achieving. There is a better way to farm and you can see the proof for yourself every month as we take you on our – “Walk the Talk” video of these farmers. Hear from experts like:

Dr Elaine Ingham
Dr Maarten Stapper
Dr Arden Andersen
Jerry Brunetti

These are no pseudo agricultural theorists. They are all scientific experts who have looked at the conventional system and have been provoked to look further. They understand the importance of allowing and assisting Mother Nature to provide a healthy balance and now work with real, small to large scale farmers to get outstanding, profitable results naturally.

Tell me what you would sooner do? Spend hours upon hours, dollars after dollars, year after year spraying, drenching and using deadly toxic products that keep going up in price? It’s awfully costly and time consuming and worst of all damaging to you, your precious soil and to animal health.

Or do you choose to take time to understand once and for all how to reduce, or better still, never have to use so called essential chemicals and synthetic fertilizers again?

Organic Farming

posted in: Hemp Farming | 0

The word organic has a number of connotations attached to it. The definition cannot be narrowed to a particular area of study; in fact, the word “organic” spreads over a larger range of areas where it can be applied. The basic definition, however, remains the same because the derivation of the meaning of the word is unanimously universal. Organic is derived from or relates to, living organisms. In the simplest sense of the word, organic is simply organic matter obtained from the use of living organisms.
Anything that involves the use of fertilizers or pesticides which are strictly and solely obtained from animal or vegetable origin are organic in nature.

Raised or carried out without the use of drugs, hormones or synthetics chemicals deems products to be organic in nature, example being organic Cattle rearing. Lifestyle of people can also be organic if it is close to nature or simple and healthy. Organic farming is described as an ecologically balanced approach to farming which does not rely on artificial means to yield products. It is basically not treated with any kind of chemicals or at the most, the minimum amounts of chemicals are used. Foods which are organic are usually believed to be free of artificial additives and processed with the least use of artificial methods.

Surveys and studies have revealed the environmental effects of organic farming and the consensus across these surveys is that organic farming is less detrimental for the following reasons:

1 – Organic farms do not consume or release synthetic pesticides into the environment, which may prove harmful for soil and aquatic life.

2 – They are capable of maintaining a diverse eco system and a balanced one.

3 – Uses less energy and produce less waste.

4 – Adds fertility to soil

5 – Provides boosts the natural resistance of plants and animals against diseases by encouraging the number of natural organisms to flourish.

Apart from benefiting the environment, it is also accredited to organic farming that it increases the yield. However, there are certain critics who refute it by claiming that organic farming can feed a meager number of people compared to the world population and that too after destruction of eco systems and an excess waste of resources. A rebuttal to this statement shows that materials needed for organic farming are easily accessible than those used in conventional farming, and thus organic methods could produce enough food to sustain the world population. The fact of the matter is, that organic farming may benefit the yield in some countries while it may not do the same in others, depending on how developed a country is and obviously because of the availability of materials needed in organic farming. Studies also reveal that organic farming is more energy efficient.

Moreover, organic products are known to have more nutrients as compared to conventionally grown products. Since the soil quality improves as a result of organic farming better taste is also attributed to organic products for this reason.

As given above, organic products are more improved and provide many benefits to the consumers. Usually all organic products have similar characteristics. All such products are free from the use of any synthetic chemicals and are extremely original in nature. Generally organic products are more costly and higher demands of these products are directly related to higher incomes. A number of other factors determine the demand for organic products and the need for an organic lifestyle. The propensity to buy organic products has been related to people’s concern to external or direct personal effects of their usage.

Segun Olowookere recently started his own clothing company called Lowooke who speciallise in designing, producing and distributing a range of clothing aimed at the urban and youth market. The apparel that Lowooke sells is produced using organic materials that have been ethically sourced. You can view their range of Urban Clothing London at http://www.lowooke.com/shop/

(ALGA) American Seed & Oil Company Entry into $500 Million U.S. Hemp Market, Found on Bloomberg BusinessWeek Site, Now Quietly Expands into Colorado

posted in: Hemp Farming | 0

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) August 28, 2014

The American Seed & Oil Company, a subsidiary of Algae International Group, Inc. (OTC: ALGA), announced last week a strategy launched last January to enter the existing U.S. $ 500 million Industrial Hemp market.

The announcement can be found on Bloomberg BusinessWeek:

http://tinyurl.com/ALGA-Bloomberg

The Company subsequently released details to expand its existing hemp farming operations in Vermont:

http://tinyurl.com/Vermont-Wants-You

Today the Company made public its efforts to expand into Colorado.

In June this year, Management participated in the first annual Weed Stock Conference in Denver, Colorado.

http://www.weedstockconference.com/

At the Weed Stock Conference, the Company engaged a number of local parties in early negotiations to establish hemp and marijuana farms in Colorado. The Company is also exploring retail and wholesale operation pilots in addition to possible cannabis tourism projects.

To learn more about the Company’s cannabis business strategy and the progress to date in the development of that strategy, visit the Company’s new American Seed & Oil Company website. In particular, read ‘The Introduction Of The American Seed & Oil Company’ found on the website to specifically learn about the Company’s current hemp crop and all three new cannabis industry subsidiaries.

http://www.americanseedandoil.com/news/alga-introduces-american-seed-oil-company

About Algae International Group, Inc. and The American Seed & Oil Company, Inc.

(OTC: ALGA) Algae International Group, Inc. first became interested in the cannabis opportunity last year while attempting to build a business to produce bio diesel from cold pressed algae oil. While the ‘promise’ of the cannabis market is great, the path to achieving the ‘promise’ is unclear. An incubator improves the odds of success in an early and rapidly evolving market by building multiple, complimentary businesses with an initial strategy to explore market opportunity rather than to attempt seizing market opportunity prematurely. Accordingly, the Company is starting with three incubated subsidiaries, and will continue to explore the introduction of additional complimentary subsidiaries. As subsidiaries develop to a viable stage of independence, the Company will spinoff such subsidiaries creating independent ROI opportunities for parent shareholders.

posted in: Hemp Farming | 0

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 25, 2014

Algae International Group, Inc. (OTC: ALGA), through its subsidiary American Seed & Oil Company, Inc., today announced it will work with a new startup, World Hemp Oil, to supply domestically grown and refined hemp CBD oil to produce and market the EpiVape© for seizure disorders.

World Hemp Oil is a wholesale distributor of CBD oil comparable to Charlotte’s Web Medical Marijuana (MMJ) strains. But unlike Charlotte’s Web, World Hemp’s CBD Oil is legal and available in all 50 United States.

The EpiVape© was inspired by World Hemp Oil founder and CEO Christopher Cain, who suffers spasms from a spinal cord injury and has been able to mitigate suffering with CBD oil therapy. CBD oil has been shown to reduce symptoms in neurological disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and spinal cord injury. The company has a Crowdfunding campaign to finance commercialization of the vaporizer: http://www.epivape.com

American Seed & Oil Company is an early mover in the emerging state-legalized Hemp and Medical Marijuana cultivation markets. The company was recently recognized by NPR as the largest hemp grower in Vermont. The company recently announced Medical Marijuana Pilots in two states, a first step toward commercialization of a larger operation, as evolving state and federal laws permit.

About Algae International Group, Inc.

Algae International Group, Inc. (OTC: ALGA), through its subsidiary American Seed & Oil Company, Inc., is in the business of hemp production to supply seed to the expanding hemp farming market for consumer products and construction materials.
