I just remembered that I have to do a term paper on Greece (for Calculus ) Any help would be appreciated (bringing cultural food is extra credit) I actually try to keep everything softcopy until I need to print it and such. I e-mail half my papers to the teachers (the other half don't take e-mailed papers v.v)

I dont know if something was said already (theres too much for me to read right now)
Reusable paper is less usable each time its recylced (IF its recycled, most people throw it in the garbage) and trees dont grow as fast as we use them. I am entirely with Axis on this one. It takes little to no effort to follow his steps, and it will help alot in the long run. And it doesnt help if its just the 100 or so on this forum. Tell your friends, start a group, let everyone know that we care!!!

Not to sound hippyish...but hemp ftw!
Hemp is the common name for plants of the entire genus Cannabis, although the term is often used to refer only to Cannabis strains cultivated for industrial (non-drug) use. Industrial hemp has many uses, including paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics, construction, health food, and fuel. It is one of the fastest growing biomasses known, and one of the earliest domesticated plants known. Here are 15 fascinating facts about the less-pleasurable version of weed.
1. All schoolbooks were made from hemp or flax paper until the 1880s. (Jack Frazier. Hemp Paper Reconsidered. 1974.)
2. It was legal to pay taxes with hemp in America from 1631 until the early 1800s. (LA Times. Aug. 12, 1981.)
3. Refusing to grow hemp in America during the 17th and 18th centuries was against the law! You could be jailed in Virginia for refusing to grow hemp from 1763 to 1769 (G. M. Herdon. Hemp in Colonial Virginia).
4. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers grew hemp. (Washington and Jefferson Diaries. Jefferson smuggled hemp seeds from China to France then to America.)
5. Benjamin Franklin owned one of the first paper mills in America, and it processed hemp. Also, the War of 1812 was fought over hemp. Napoleon wanted to cut off Moscow’s export to England. (Jack Herer. Emperor Wears No Clothes.)
6. For thousands of years, 90% of all ships’ sails and rope were made from hemp. The word ‘canvas’ comes from the Middle English word “canevas” which comes from the Latin word cannabis. (Webster’s New World Dictionary.)
7. 80% of all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc., were made from hemp until the 1820s, with the introduction of the cotton gin.
8. The first Bibles, maps, charts, Betsy Ross’s flag, the first drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were made from hemp. (U.S. Government Archives.)
9. The first crop grown in many states was hemp. 1850 was a peak year for Kentucky producing 40,000 tons. Hemp was the largest cash crop until the 20th century. (State Archives.)
10. Oldest known records of hemp farming go back 5000 years in China, although hemp industrialization probably goes back to ancient Egypt.
11. Rembrandt’s, Van Gogh’s, Gainsborough’s, as well as most early canvas paintings, were principally painted on hemp linen.
12. In 1916, the U.S. Government predicted that by the 1940s all paper would come from hemp and that no more trees need to be cut down. Government studies report that 1 acre of hemp equals 4.1 acres of trees. Plans were in the works to implement such programs. (U.S. Department of Agriculture Archives.)
13. Quality paints and varnishes were made from hemp seed oil until 1937. 58,000 tons of hemp seeds were used in America for paint products in 1935. (Sherman Williams Paint Co. testimony before the U.S.Congress against the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act.)
14. Henry Ford’s first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the car itself was constructed from hemp! On his large estate, Ford was photographed among his hemp fields. The car, ‘grown from the soil,’ had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel. (Popular Mechanics, 1941.)
15. In 1938, hemp was called ‘Billion Dollar Crop.’ It was the first time a cash crop had a business potential to exceed a billion dollars. (Popular Mechanics, Feb. 1938.)

Do you realize that if we weren't so freaked out about marijuana, we would not only save the economy, but the ecosystem

Well, I do agree with your point RS, but there are a few bad things about it. 1. If weed was legal, everyone would be potheads, food would go scarce, and noone would want to go to work. No work = no food/services. 2. If weed was legal, more people would be dealers, and the arguments over it would be the death of many. 3. If weed were legal, it would make it less fun SMOKE WEED FOREVER!

well im more arguing that the US government should legalize hemp cultivation IN the US, rather than import. but if weed was legal, it would be taxed. the government would control it and it would be no different than alcohol or tobacco. of course they would probably dilute it quite a bit so that would suck

your missing my point lol. weed should NOT be legal. it would be cool if it was, but it would come with too many downsides. i stopped smoking anyways, the cons seem to outweigh the pros lately
