Stylish hemp is not just for
Woody Harrelson. Hemp and hemp-blend suits have hit the corporate world
with flair. I’m Betsy Rosenberg with EcoTalk’s Daily Greens
– Good For You, Good For Our Planet, brought to you by Organic Valley
Family of Farms. Designers like Georgio Armani and Todd Oldham have
discovered that hemp is hip, functional, and great for suits. Hemp is
stronger, more absorbent, and uses less water to grow than cotton. And
it requires no toxic pesticides. That means it’s less expensive to
produce and better for the environment than cotton. And now that high-end
designers have caught on, classic business-wear can be ecofriendly with
style. Check with your favorite designer brand to see if they’ve caught
the hemp wave. LISTEN
