So my earth deed that I am sharing with you today isn't something that is immediately helping the planet right now, but will have waves of positive action and cause a ripple effect that will benefit the whole world. It is something that I have been working on for the last 6 months and just completed last night; A business plan for the "most regenerative hemp company in the world".
Our Mission statement and milestones below show how we plan develop such a company:
