Hooray for Hemp!

Date: Tuesday, January 20

The Delivery: Hemp footwear and books
Staff Pick: The hemp hiking-shoes from Wicked Sportswear are both cool and environmentally friendly

The DL: As seen in the November+December '08 issue of VegNews, hemp is quite the industrious weed, and it's great to see that companies outside of America are taking up this great fiber and making it into a product that everyone loves: shoes! Now it's up to the US to follow suit, and thanks to today's inauguration of President Obama, this may just be a possibility in the future.
