Eco friendly pet collars

by David Allen on Monday, May 21st, 2007

Hemp is an all natural product, which can be used to make such things as pet leashes and collars, this is true test of its strength and durability, so why hemp?

~ Hemp is one of the most durable of all the natural fibers/textiles
~ Will outlast synthetic fibers by many, many years
~ It is a soft fiber that grows even softer with age and washing
~ Hypo-allergenic and won’t irritate sensitive skin (animal or human)
~ Comfortable to both work with and wear
~ Hemp is both very strong and quite water resistant; it has a natural resistance to both mildew and mold
~ Hemp is grown without pesticides or herbicides, and so is ecologically and environmentally friendly – no toxins leaching into the earth!
~ Hemp crops can actually help restore soil’s natural balance, rather than depleting it of nutrients and minerals
~ As it has a ‘fast’ growing cycle (100 – 120 days), crops can be harvested two to three times a year, as opposed to anywhere from 20 to 200+ years it takes for reforestation. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to keep all those trees!
~ Hemp has a long and honorable history of supplying most of man’s needs for centuries (actually 1000’s of years), including rope, canvas, energy, paper, medicine, bedding, insulation, food (hemp hulls are delicious and make a great nutritional snack), clothing (more absorbable than cotton) and so much more!
~ And to top it all off, hemp is 100% biodegradable!
