I travel a lot for my job and so often end up having dinner alone in restaurants. I like to take a book or magazine with me to prevent boredom. Last week, I was in FREDERICKSBURG VA where I ate at Friendly's Restaurant and I read an interesting piece about bamboo clothes. I did not realise you are able to make fabric out of bamboo.

Bamboo has some fantastic qualities. I found out bamboo clothing is softer than organic cotton. They also say it is antibacterial and hypoallergenic. That is a fantastic quality to have in clothing. Bamboo clothing is very absorbent which means it is a good option for gym gear or also as bamboo towels. I was fascinated by these claims so I had to find out if this was really the case. I went online and got a couple pieces of clothing.

I must tell you I was very impressed with the quality. The fabric absolutely is soft, kind of like silk. It was close to being dry as soon as I took it out of the washing machine which I think is great. I also noticed is that it did not necessarily need ironing. I am not sure if all bamboo clothes are like that but it is a quality I look for as I can not stand ironing.

Find the latest bamboo clothes here or there are plenty of organic clothes stores where you can get organic cotton clothes as well bamboo towels.

After some more research I found out some interesting pieces of information on bamboo. It is generally organic. It grows very fast which means it does not need any fertilisers and they do not use pesticides either. As well as that, bamboo uses little water during the growth period meaning they can survive droughts.

I attempt to make environmentally friendly choices whenever I do my shopping. Bamboo is organic, renewable, and sustainable so it is my number one choice for clothes and other products such as sheets, blankets, curtains, and baby clothes.

You can find plenty of articles on bamboo here and good information about organic farming and why to buy organic products.
