Episode 7: Hemp hemp hooray!

Posted on: January 31, 2010

On my mission to explore hemp fashion, I decide to volunteer in a hemp fashion show at the Green Festival in Washington, DC because you can’t really know hemp by looking at it, you gotta walk a runway in it. Not only do I learn how to do the hemp strut, I also learn a really surprising fact about hemp–one that will fire up your inner activist and send you straight to Vote Hemp’s website to learn more.

You look great in the fashion show! Some of those clothes look really nice, and not at all scratchy.

Thanks Vanessa! I think you'd look great in hemp...and Lance too! I wonder who is making hemp baby clothes? I'll have to find out...

Great Video Rachael. I had no idea that we were importing this stuff from China because it's illegal to grow in the U.S. That is just wrong. I'm on a mission. Off to research and write! Thanks, Adam Shake

I know! Issues like this really fire me up when we've got farmers here who want to grow it. Are we just going to let China beat us on everything?! Thanks for watching!

I never knew hemp could be so versatile! Nice job strutting your stuff. -Jim
