Hempwool is a thing. .

[@fatheroffibereconomics]

There is too much about what you think, and zero about what is actually sustainable. The fact that you're not saying kenaf instead of hemp shows what you think is very limited. And that has had a heavy cost to humanity and planet

[@fatheroffibereconomics]

Oh, kenaf slipped in there let's see where that goes. No need dor hemp while kenaf is available and free to grow

[@fatheroffibereconomics]

Yep... I know this is about hemp, but the story should and would be kenaf if people were serious, period. By ignoring kenaf, people have been ignoring what they want to see in the world and it has held hemp back. This has also attributed to the continued suffering of people around the world who grow kenaf already for industries. Kenaf has lost power thanks to hemp and this is actually criminal. ...
If people focused on kenaf, hemp would fall into place
