We’re not f**ked.
Fragments of a manual they never wanted you to read.

This isn’t a lifestyle blog. It’s not hemp hype. These are decoded fragments of a bigger system.
How petrochemicals captured our wallets, how hemp and bamboo were buried, women marginalized, and how we claw the future back with the power of purchase.
Protest makes noise. Consumer activism breaks empires. Welcome to the manual that creates the post-petro world.
AFG: Processor Atlas — Map the chokepoints, finance the throughputs
AFG: Processor Atlas — Where capacity actually lives
We mapped North American hemp/bamboo processors by capability and throughput—decorticators, dryers, carders, nonwovens, compounders, panel presses. Size = tons per day, color = process. The picture isn’t “no supply chain”; it’s uneven, under-upgraded capacity clustered around cheap power, rail, and ports. The chokepoints are predictable: drying, QA, and offtake. Fix those, and lines move from press release to production.
This Atlas is a placement tool: operators find neighbors and buyers; capital finds upgrades with short payback and clean compliance (FEOC/DC, Energy Communities, 45X/48C, §6417/§6418). If you’ve got a line we missed—or one ready to scale—send the intake. We’re funding boring things that print throughput.
What Is Evolution Mine?
Evolution Mine is regeneration — powered by hemp, bamboo, and women.
We are not a brand. We are not a think tank. We are an economic movement engineered to bankrupt the petrochemical empire and replace it with something that actually lasts.
