Executive Indifference Delays Phytoremediation And Industrial Hemp .....

Another sad story about gridlock in America as toxic issues across the Nation are kept on hold while leadership apparently stalls implementation of Industrial Hemp ..... in spite of the EPA stating 30,000 toxic sites across America need phytoremediation .....

It seems past time to take action on the schedule-one designation of Hemp ..... Please have the courage to prioritize the needs of our Nation as a #1 concern over narrower expectations spilling from elite private sector agenda's !!!.....

I'm wondering about American Green's former connection with Humate ? .....

Phytotech, along with Consolidated Growers and Processors (CGP) and the Ukraine's Institute of Bast Crops, planted industrial hemp, Cannabis sp., for the purpose of removing contaminants near the Chernobyl site. Cannabis is in the Cannabidaceae family and is valuable for its fiber, which is used in ropes and other products. This industrial variety of hemp, incidentally, has only trace amounts of THC, the chemical that produces the "high" in a plant of the same genus commonly known as marijuana. Overall, phytoremediation has great potential for cleaning up toxic metals, pesticides, solvents, gasoline, and explosives.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that more than 30,000 sites in the United States alone require hazardous waste treatment. Restoring these areas and their soil, as well as disposing of the wastes, are costly projects, but the costs are expected to be reduced drastically if plants provide the phytoremediation results everyone is hoping for.
