The hemp plant can be grown anywhere (even in harsh conditions) and reaches almost 7 meters in length within 6 months time. It can be used as biomass (along with cornstalks, sugarcane, kenaf, waste paper and the like). It can be converted to methane, methanol or petrol at very low cost (pyrolysis and / or biochemical composting). The use of biomass and its derivative products is eco-friendly & completely sustainable. The biomass comes from living plants that continually remove carbon dioxide pollution from the air. Unlike fossil fuel, biomass does not contain sulfur. In conclusion, mining for and the use of fossil fuels is self-destructive on every level (as is greed). |

It will be a clear sign that the justice system itself has been captured if this development is allowed to continue. |

Has the company signed a contract to rehabilitate the area after they have stripped everything in their way, regardless what gets destroyed. |

Mining companies do not develop the communities in which they operate, they extract and leave. |
