Awesome Hemp

Just BioFiber makes sustainable building materials from hemp plants, lime, and a biocomposite frame. The bricks stack like giant LEGO blocks up to 30 feet high, are as strong as concrete, and are self-insulating. Exploring Alternatives met with BioFiber President Terry Radford for a look at this innovative construction material.

We like the smooth looks of the rugged limited edition Scout work boot from Viberg, which features heavyweight hemp, oiled/roughed up leather and PU sole. (Thanks Kevin!)

This summer IPATH is re-releasing 3 colors of their understated Cat shoe in eco-friendly hemp. Besides being durable, the Cats are practical: stash pockets under the tongues keep valuables safe.
