Lotus recently unveiled the Eco-Elise, an environmentally-friendly concept car made partially from hemp. Several of the body panels on this concept Elise are made from hemp materials, which is much more lightweight than metal. Plus, hemp is a renewable material that absorbs CO2, making it zero-sum. And the hemp used for this car was grown in the same neighborhood as the manufacturing plant, eliminating the need for long transportation of materials.
