About Living Green Hemp

Living Green Hemp is a plain-spoken guide to hemp as a sustainable material for clothes, homes and everyday products.

Living Green Hemp is an independent guide to industrial hemp as a material. We write for people who want to buy, build or make with fewer synthetic inputs and want straight answers first.

What we cover

  • Hemp textiles: how they feel, wear and wash
  • Hemp in building: hempcrete, insulation and boards
  • Household goods: twine, paper, bags and garden products
  • Care, reuse and end of life

What we don’t cover

Health and wellness products. Medical claims. Growing advice for any specific region, since hemp rules differ by state and country. If a topic needs a licensed professional, we say so and stop there.

How we write

We describe trade-offs alongside benefits. A hemp product is only a better choice if it lasts, gets used and is disposed of well. Labels can overstate things, so we explain what to look for rather than which brand to buy.
