Ancient Hemp Papermaking Vanishes in China

Ancient Hemp Papermaking Vanishes in China
Sunday 10 June 2012

"Because the paper is totally natural, the ink goes well with the paper and the paper is durable and can be kept for as long as a thousand years."

One of the 'Four Great Inventions of China' is papermaking. In 105 A.D., Cai Lun invented the composition for paper (mainly bark and hemp), along with the papermaking process. This invention enabled China to develop its civilization. Today, ancient papermaking has been replaced by modern means of production, but in some places this ancient technique is still practiced. In 2007, the traditional way of papermaking was included in the first list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Shaanxi province. Unfortunately there's almost nobody left anymore who still practices this traditional way of hemp papermaking. It's simply vanishing... :( What a shame. Any volunteers?

Hemp History Week

Thursday 5 May 2011

Hemp is the most useful plant known to mankind. Need proof? For thousands of years people have grown this plant and used its fibers for many purposes. Due the prohibition of cannabis in the last century, hemp kind of disappeared from the industrial radar and people forgot about the countless advantages of this miracle plant. So it's definitely time for a Hemp History Week! And don't forget to send this virtual postcard...

Expensive Hemp Rug

Expensive Hemp Rug

A rug made of hemp worth $35.575? It exists. Somehow I feel that this rug will not tie my room together, so the first one who pees on this rug gets a free torrent of 'The Big Lebowski'!

"...A technique called "phytoremediation" uses certain plants to leech these elements from the soil. Guess which one is one of the best at that task?..."

The 'Kestrel'... Sounds like a Danish dish (check), but turns out to be the name of the world's first production-ready Hemp car. That's no name to write history with, dudes..! No offense, Danish friends, we love your Erdpurt. Oh yeah, the car is freakin' ugly, but who cares,  Hemp = always +1.

Instant update: Lol. Check out these bikes. When will they have their first Hemp edition available?

Hemp house wins construction prize

Hemp house wins construction prize

I want a house like this. Preferably in the centre of Amsterdam. It should be a little less boring though and since it's in Amsterdam, I also need a balcony. But anyway, +1 for the people who built it.

Quote of the Day

"I don't want to fucking give the United States government one fucking dollar of taxes. I think that they should go to fucking jail for getting you and me and 20 million people getting arrested for pot. It is the safest thing you can do in the universe."
