Bamboo
Following is information we think you’ll find helpful in making informed organic shopping decisions
Bamboo is generally regarded as one of the most sustainable sources for making clothes. The plant grows as much as 18 inches per day without the need for fertilizers or pesticides to thrive. It is comprised of dense, round fibers, making it extremely strong yet soft and silky to the touch.
Bamboo fabric is softer than cotton and has a texture similar to silk. It is also a naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic product. It absorbs moisture rapidly and expels it in to the air, thereby keeping you dry and odor free. Pure bamboo clothing can dry twice as fast as cotton clothes and stay fashionable and comfortable all year round, as they keep you cool in summer and warm in winter.
The environmental benefits of bamboo clothing are numerous. Bamboo plants proliferate quickly and do not require fertilizers or pesticides for a successful crop. They also require very little water, and they survive through drought conditions as well as flooding.
Another benefit of bamboo is that it releases even more oxygen into the atmosphere than trees. Planting bamboo can help reduce the level of carbon dioxide in the air as well as reducing soil erosion and desertification. The complex root system of bamboo plants makes them an excellent choice for planting in high erosion areas such as riverbanks and areas subject to mud slides. They are also suitable for planting in areas which have suffered significant soil degradation and deforestation.
