Kim Kovacs is the Chief Executive Officer of element6 Dynamics. She is spearheading a transformation in the hemp industry to bring industrial hemp production to scale.  By replacing tree-based pulp in paper and in packaging, hemp can reduce the pressure to harvest forests while also sequestering carbon and replenishing soils. 

In this episode, Hilary Langer and Kim Kovacs discuss how hemp works as a carbon sink, why both farmers and corporations are eager to get involved in hemp production, and why now is the time to grow in the volume needed to reverse the carbon impact of the paper and packaging industry.

How will cannabis legalization play out in different cities? Will legalization give rise to a craft weed industry?

With cannabis laws fluctuating every year, Melissa and Wythe have a lot of questions about the home-growing of this popular plant, its regulation by the government, and its use by consumers. Before New York State moved to legalize recreational cannabis use—we spoke to social scientist Alex Rewegan (Ph.D. candidate, MIT) about his research into cannabis production and the heterogeneous legalization process in North America. Alex is from Canada and conducts research there, but he lives in the Boston area and has a lot of thoughts on U.S. legalization processes, too. We discuss who will benefit and who will likely be left behind by different forms of cannabis legalization, and we also get into why certain uses of this plant are just now taking off in consumer culture—that is, what’s up with CBD? It’s everywhere! We also discuss home-grown or small-scale “craft” cannabis as opposed to industrial growing, how Canadian smokers have responded to legalization, and who may grow cannabis at home in cities today. Take a listen, plant a seed, and please share Fields with a friend!

Our guest, Erica Halverson has created 100% hemp paper and is consistently developing new product ideas. Erica has worked in marketing and branding for a number of years and set off on a new path to help save the world. Erica introduces her journey to us and shares some of the challenges she has had to overcome in order to accomplish her goals. Tune in, join us, and learn what you can do when you push the limits of what seems possible!

Did you know: 

• Hemp paper can be whitened without bleach but instead using hydrogen peroxide, a natural substance which doesn’t poison waterways.
• Hemp paper can last 100’s of years longer than wood-pulp paper as it doesn’t decompose nearly as fast and doesn’t yellow with age.
• Hemp contains low levels of lignin (organic polymers found in the cell wall of plants), and high levels of cellulose, making it easier to process into paper than trees.
• Hemp is ready for harvesting in 90 - 120 days and grows from 10 - 20 feet tall vs. trees taking 20 - 50 years to cultivate.
• Hemp can revitalize the earth, save our trees, increase the capabilities of our paper and utilize waste all while it heals the mind body and soul. We think this is all pretty freaking awesome! -TinyePaper.com

Franny Tacy may have been the first female hemp farmer in North Carolina but one does not get that title without taking a few risks. There were no seasoned professionals when Franny put plants into the ground. She had to blaze her own trails and look to the earth for guidance. As a constant student of all things agriculture, Franny left the comfort of a stable paycheck and took on the challenge of building a fully integrated business from seed to sale. Franny started the farm, found the products, started selling them, and now building more stores and educating the public. If you are looking for motivation to stop waiting and start doing, you came to the right place.  Join us and learn how Franny built this iconic brand and sets out to inspire others every single day!

Hemp, what is it good for? Apparently, absolutely everything. Except getting high, it cannot get you high, so don't smoke it.

This week, we have a special guest Moxie, from the Your Brain on Facts Podcast. Find her awesome website here: http://yourbrainonfacts.com/

Did you know George Washington grew hemp, and that hemp used to be on the 10 dollar bill? Hemp can be used to make the follow commercial items: paper, textiles, clothing, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation, biofuel, food, and animal feed. It can also be used for water, soil purification, and weed control. So why has it been illegal so long, in so many places? Simple answer, human greed and stupidity.
