At an event in Miami, Thomas spoke about different matters and his mission to make a worldwide change.
He hopes that the automotive industry will begin implementing more sustainable manufacturing with hemp products.
Thomas says that One World is “working closely with the automotive industry to reduce their carbon footprint by replacing some of their plastics with hemp.” He added that One World is also working in construction.

One World will be the official one-stop-shop for worldwide hemp needs.
