Many people nowadays are more conscious about the climate change but they also want something that can satisfy their needs.
So the balance between the environment and human needed stuff need to be carefully compromised.
The topic today will be emphasized on "hemp products" which are believed to be one of the very green choices, and how to choose it wisely that we can still be entitled as a green users.
As my experience and expertise are on hemp bags will be used as an example.
Hemp bags are made from hemp fabric which is derived from the hemp fibers.
The basic fact of hemp plantation that is considered as a more environmentally friendly choice over other plants farming (such as flax or cotton) and this facts are well evidenced in many studies.
So, many green business owners try to advertise the "green value "of their hemp products in order to attract the shoppers who are more conscious about climate change and earth saving.
However, not many shoppers aware of the facts that there are many processes and factors associated with producing a product, especially hemp bags.
The important thing is that some of the processes can eliminate the "green value "that all the green shoppers are expecting to enjoy with the green hemp bags (eco-friendly hemp bags).
So how to solve this problem? The critical analysis list of the "must do" criteria below for the green shoppers will shed the light on: 1.
Hemp fabric: Make sure with the seller that the fabric used for manufacturing the hemp bags are from green source (eco-friendly source) of hemp fiber.
The hemp farming must contain no usage of insecticide.
2.
The dyeing process: If the fabric colors of the bags are not its original natural color, then make sure with the seller that the natural colors are used as colors for dyeing.
3.
Production process: Make sure that they do not use full industrial scale production process as the full scale industrial manufacturing process always associates with pollution.
Some handmade process is important.
But if the manufacturer can show you that its full scale industrial process can be green then it is fine.
4.
Other raw materials: Make sure that other materials used in your bags are eco-friendly.
At least 80-90% of the whole hemp bags should be eco-friendly materials.
it is also great if it is possible to make it a 100% eco-friendly materials..
5.
The use of labor based on fairness and kindness: Many people forget that human is a part of nature, which is needed to be protected as well! The taking advantage on labor such as paying wage below the standard, poor factory environment, child labor usage, etc can also make your eco-friendly hemp bags become a nightmare.
Following the upper list then all the green shoppers can make a wise choice on their hemp bags.
The above list can also be applied with other products as well but some modifications are needed.
