We need to think bigger. We don't need to be consumers, we could got back to the times of farmers and shit but that just won't happen in our age(maybe after 2012?). But right now since we rely so heavily on major companies the only way to make an effective change would be for them to only use organic, renewable resources like hemp, bamboo, flax, soy and all that other shit. You can make pretty much everything with hemp; fiber board that is stronger than 2x4s, non toxic hemp oil based paint, non-toxic plastic from the cellulose! (think of that, all plastics made from a bio-degradable renewable resource), rope, carpet backing, fiber board flooring, canvas (the word canvas actually comes from the word cannabis), paper that is wayy more durable and thinner then wood paper (most bibles and bank notes are made from hemp paper not to mention there would be no need for logging and bleaching the fibres), all clothing including jackets and snowpants (50% of the worlds herbicides and pesticides are used in processing cotton), bricks, roofing tiles, sealents and plumbing pipes can all be made from hemp!
Hemp seed oil is also extremely nutritious, it contains the essential fatty acids (skiers need these to keep joints healthy), and complete proteins. hemp seed oil can be used in cooking instead of vegetable oil. Hemp seeds are also high in fibre and other stuff that I forget.
You can make bio-fuel out of hemp which is a very, very clean burning oil. When gasoline burns, it gets shit realll duurty and if you see the inside of an exhaust pipe or engine you will see that they are very dirty. Some scientists ran a car on hemp biofuel for 3500 miles and they could wipe the exhaust pipe with a white glove without it getting dirty.
The reason hemp, soy, flax, bamboo and other amazing plants aren't used is because the biggest companies (DuPont) have patents on plastic production and the wood-pulp paper suphide process. Using hemp tp it's fullest abitlities there would be hardly any demand for synthetic fibres, nylon, plastic, cotton, wood-paper, fossil fuels, and many other products.
