EDINBURGH NEWS reports on the launch of www.babbleandhemp.com shirts by Edinburgh University graduate, Charlie Thomas.  He is urging people to turn to hemp as a more sustainable fibre than cotton due to the greatly reduced water requirement and the lack of need for pesticides –

“Given that one hemp shirt uses 500 litres of water to make, in comparison to the 2,500 litres a cotton shirt needs, my mission is simple – to make hemp the most used fabric on the planet.”

Priced at £69 the shirts are available in a choice of colours #babbleandhemp
