Proposal: Proposal
Situation: If we start farming more Hemp can we reduce the number of trees that are being cut down per year by making paper out of hemp.
Proposed Solution: By researching Hemp Studies we can determine if hemp would be a more reliable source of paper, fabric, use less water and reduce the amount of CO in the air.
Methodology
1. Research Hemp Studies and investigate the history of it to see why we aren't growing it. figure out how much water is needed for a Juvenile Hemp plant to fully grow and compare that to the starting point of a tree. Also check if it takes more water over time or if it's constant.
2. Compare both Hemp plants and Trees to see which one is more effective with different kinds of recourses. Some recourses will include rope, paper, and cloth. Both can create those three things but one if more efficient
3. Begin Research on the amount of CO Hemp can take out of the atmosphere compared to Trees. We will also investigate how much H2O each one makes.
4. Once successfully Figured out the specifics, make a list of Resources in which Hemp is one of the leading ingredients, and compare Price of Hemp Resources to that of Tree resources.
