British car-maker Lotus has unveiled an environmentally-
friendly concept car, which is partly made of hemp, at the
British International Motor Show. The Lotus Eco-Elise
(pictured above) sports body panels manufactured entirely
from hemp (they\u2019re the brown bits on the roof and bonnet).

Compared to metal, hemp is a very lightweight material, which
helps to improve vehicle performance and promote greater fuel-
efficiency. Hemp is also a renewable, lightweight material that
absorbs CO2 through photosynthesis. In addition, the particular
type of hemp used by Lotus is ethically produced in close
proximity to the manufacturing plant, keeping a lid on the
emissions made through transportation.

Hemp car made by Henry Ford in 1941

Hemp plastic is ten times stronger than steel and
wont dent . Check out Henry Ford Pounding on his
new car on the internet. Just search (Henry Ford
Hemp Car). You will be amazed!!
