I move around a lot for my job and so often end up having dinner alone in local restaurants. I like to take a good book or magazine with me to prevent boredom. The other day, I was in ALEXANDRIA VA where I ate at Johnny Macs and I came across a new article to do with bamboo. I had no idea you can make fabric out of bamboo.

Bamboo has some amazing qualities. I found out bamboo clothing is softer than organic cotton. Apparently it is antibacterial and hypo-allergenic. That is a great quality to have in clothes. Bamboo clothing is highly absorbent which means it is a excellent choice for gym wear or possibly as bamboo towels. I was interested by these claims so I had to find out for myself. I searched online and purchased some pieces of clothing.

I should say I was extremely impressed with the quality. The fabric really is soft, not unlike silk. It was close to being dry when I took it from the washing machine which I found to be amazing. The other thing I noticed is that it did not necessarily need ironing. I am not sure if all bamboo clothing is like that but it is a quality I look for as I hate ironing.

You can find the latest bamboo clothes here or there are many organic apparel stores where you can get organic cotton clothes as well bamboo sheets.

After a little more research I discovered some more incredible details about bamboo. It is almost always organic. It grows very quickly which means it does not need fertilisers and they do not need pesticides either. As well as that, bamboo requires very little water during the time it grows so they can survive droughts.

I try to make eco friendly choices whenever I do my shopping. Bamboo is organic, renewable, and sustainable so it is my number one choice for t-shirts and other products such as sheets, underwear, throws, and baby clothes.

You can find more information on bamboo here and good info about organic farming and how to choose organic produce.
