Kyoto Hemp Forum - On Line Rooms

The Japan Hemp Association hosted an international gathering of hemp advocates in Kyoto, Japan, where the Kyoto Protocol was signed in 1997 to address climate change. An amazing gathering of activist shared insights and notes, working out an effective, international hemp phytoremediation plan.

Hemp is an effective tool we can use to solve climate change because it pulls excess CO2 from the atmosphere as it grows and it's extensive root system cleans toxins from the soil like lead and nuclear radiation.

Here's some information on the event, which is planning a gathering in Thailand in 2022. 

In case you haven't noticed, the climate is changing.



GET HEMPED!
PLEASE SHARE YOUR IDEAS!

It is imperative that we provide for at least seven generations ahead.Climate change must begin within, by fully understanding the problem, cause and solution.  When the problem is too much pollution, the solution is to remove the pollution.

Now that we've done the first Kyoto Hemp Forum, the next step in the process is to focus on getting hemp seeds into the ground. We have plenty proof that planting hemp is the right thing to do. 

To understand what's needed, we must talk to the farmers about what they need to engage in large scale hemp farming. Then we can teach the governments, UN and industry how to hemp from the foundation, up.  

FarmAid's annual concert is September 17, 2016. They have an activists section there and we're presenting a crop financed international phytoremediation program. Please share ideas on our call to farmers and others why we must get as many hemp seeds in the ground as possible now. As the grandest lady of all, male or female, Earth needs her weed!

Kyoto Hemp Forum - Architecture

Hemp in architecture is returning. The design opportunities it offers are enormous, taking us beyond the boxes of agricultural and industrial age structures. Imagine, energy efficient buildings built to withstand our modern storms, floods, reduce indoor radiation and fire retardant.



Hempcrete, which is a blend of hemp and lime is a carbon negative construction material. Hemp adobe, woods, papers, inks and textiles bring an easily renewable element to design. Restoring hemp to architecture is vital. Large populations, especially coastal areas, are or will be forced to move inland as the sea levels rise.  Called ‘climate change refugees’ they need quick access to shelter.  Structures can be designed to be expanded, repurposed as needed with the dynamic of 3D printing. Structures include our infrastructure too.



Many large populations must reduce nuclear radiation like New York City which is down river from the Indian Point nuclear plant or Westlake Landfill housing Manhattan Project nuclear waste, or 16,000 cracks in a Belgium nuclear plant, etc. Simple things like turning off and 3d printing nuclear sarcophagus can do a lot to lower our radiation levels.





This playlist below has more on hemp building materials that are being used in modern construction.



Hemp building materials are already expanding the definition of architecture.  Combined with 3D printing we can easily build structures that have rounded / dome corners that the wind goes around, not lifts up or blows away in the event of a hurricane or tornado.  We can add a layer of strong waterproofing material to prevent flood damage.  NASA has research into magnetic nuclear radiation shielding that may be incorporated into modern architecture reducing indoor radiation. 

Please post your thoughts, videos and photos in the comments sections. As we build and implement the Action Plan for implementing the hemp solution and other smart actions, we're sharing ideas. Thanks.
