I move around a lot for my work and so often end up eating all alone in local restaurants. I usually take a good book or magazine with me to prevent boredom. The other day, I was in COVINGTON GA where I ate at Alcovy Station Resturant and I saw a really interesting piece on bamboo clothes. I did not realise you can make fabric out of bamboo.

Bamboo has some fantastic qualities. I found out bamboo fabric and clothing is softer than most cotton. They also say it is antibacterial and hypoallergenic. That is an excellent quality to have in clothes. Bamboo clothing is highly absorbent so it is a good option for gym gear or possibly as bamboo towels. I was fascinated by what I had discovered so I had to find out for myself. I looked online and bought a couple pieces of clothing.

I should admit I was pretty impressed. The fabric really is soft, kind of like silk. It was pretty much dry when I removed it from the washing machine which I thought was amazing. I also noticed is that it did not necessarily need much ironing. I do not know if all bamboo clothes are like that but it is a quality I look for as I hate doing ironing.

After a little more research I discovered some more interesting details on bamboo. It is a product which is organic. It grows very fast which means it does not require fertilisers and they do not use pesticides either. As well as that, bamboo uses little water during the time it grows so they can survive droughts.

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