May Impact Sleuth Challenge

This Month's Challenge: Hemp is one of the earliest domesticated plants known, and it has many other uses besides delicious healthy food products. Hemp is used for paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics, construction, and fuel. It requires little to no pesticides or herbicides, and controls erosion of the topsoil. With a plant so diverse and easy to grow without toxins, it is a wonder we don't use it to completely replace conventionally grown fibers like cotton, which is the most pesticide-intensive crop grown in the U.S. According to this Ideal Bite tip, what percentage of all pesticides used are sprayed on cotton crops?

The Prize: Got the munchies for something healthy to nosh on? Feed your cravings with a jar of Manitoba Harvest Hemp Seed Butter- it's a wonderful spread on crackers, bread, bagels, croissants; a delicious addition to dips, sauces, and smoothies (retail value $9.99).
