HEMP/CANNABIS/MARIJUANA SIMPLE SOLUTION TO FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE, SAYS READER

David Suzuki and the rest of us Canadians, should be very upset at the
current Conservative plan on climate change. This Conservative "green
plan," is not a sign of change. It is a sign of greed, and is exactly
the type of thing that we have all come to expect from them, and from
the greedy people who elect them. They continue to pad the pockets of
the people who are directly responsible for our current global warming
situation-the oil industry.

There is one single, simple, solution to this "global warming"
problem. It would require a complete lifestyle change, and a wakeup
call to all its inhabitants. The current trend of government, allowing
industry to unethically pollute the air, will only cease if we make
this drastically-needed change. This plan that I am proposing has been
grossly overlooked because of the amount of current monies that this
plan is a direct threat to. It has also been shunned because it
requires Canadian to get involved, instead of being a hypnotized and
lazy puppet to the system. Fearful, uneducated people still believe
all of the misinformation about the validity of this plan.

Hemp/cannabis/marijuana is a simple solution that is a direct threat
to the oil industry. All of the products made with oil can be directly
replaced by using hemp. And it can be done in a safer, more
eco-friendly manner. It is also the answer to processing tonnes of
CO2, as cannabis processes more air than any other known plant
species. The resulting infrastructure and jobs could be the answer to
world's continuing CO2 problem.

The only danger that cannabis poses to humanity is its direct threat
to the oil industry. And, oh yes I'm sure the drug companies are part
of the equation as well. But as long as we keep electing the officials
into office that mirror this greedy agenda, we will remain stuck here,
with government putting the burden of climate change on the backs of
its hard-working people, instead of on the backs the people who are
directly responsible for this problem.
