*CO₂ figures are estimates: about 21.8 kg absorbed per mature standing tree each year, so one Zero-Tree™ bag keeps roughly 0.022 kg of that carbon well intact.

Classrooms
Lunches, take-home kits, and supplies for under-resourced schools that need every dollar.
03 · Coastline
Beach cleanups
Hemp paper bags volunteers use to collect trash off the sand — they compost in 4–6 weeks if one slips away. Zero plastic-on-plastic pollution.
04 · Local economy
Small businesses
Help a corner shop swap from plastic to American hemp paper they can't afford yet.
A thousand bags keep a tree standing and fund a real cause. The rest is just math — hemp grows back in 120 days, trees take 80 years.
No greenwashing, no carbon-offset games. One donation, one tree, one cause, and the only fiber on the planet that actually heals the soil it came from.
218tons*
CO₂ absorbed every year
10,000 mature trees left standing pull ~218 metric tons of CO₂ out of the atmosphere annually — a carbon well that keeps working forever.
230tons*
CO₂ locked into hemp fields
The ~20 acres of hemp required to grow 10 million bags pulls another ~230 tons of CO₂ down into the soil each year — and rebuilds the dirt as it goes.
60homes*
Equivalent to powering…
~450 tons of CO₂ per year is roughly the same as powering 60 American homes — or taking ~100 gas cars off the road. For a year. Every year the trees keep standing.
120days*
Hemp grows back this fast
A tree takes 20–80 years to mature. Hemp reaches harvest in roughly 120 days. Same paper, same strength, zero deforestation — and the soil ends up healthier than before.
*Estimated. Based on U.S. Forest Service averages for tree CO₂ absorption, the EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator, and the USDA Biobased Product Report on industrial hemp. Actual values vary by species, region, climate, and growing conditions.
The compounding effect
Hemp is how we quit the tree-paper habit.
We didn't start Hemp Paper Company because tree paper was evil. We started it because hemp is better — the strongest, fastest-growing, most soil-healing fiber on the planet. One acre of hemp produces as much paper as four acres of trees, in one tenth the time, on land that comes out cleaner than it started.
Every donation is a small bet on a bigger idea: you don't fix a 150-year-old industry by recycling harder. You fix it by scaling the thing that replaces it. One bag at a time. One tree left standing. One mill that runs on hemp, not pine.

Questions, answered.
Is this tax-deductible?
Not yet. You're buying bags that we donate, not making a 501(c)(3) gift. We're building a deductible path and we'll post it the second it's real.
When do the bags ship?
We ship in batches to keep prices this low. You're funding a donation, not waiting on a delivery date.
Why hemp instead of recycled paper?
Recycled paper still requires trees somewhere upstream. Hemp grows back in 4 months, doesn't need pesticides, and rebuilds the soil it grew in. Every acre of hemp is an acre of woods that stays woods.
Where are the bags made?
In the USA. That's the whole answer.
Are you making money on this?
Almost nothing. The point isn't margin — it's the trees we save.
Can I cancel a monthly donation?
Yes — any time, one click.
