I travel quite a lot for my work and so often end up eating by myself in restaurants. I like to take a novel or magazine with me to prevent boredom. The other day, I was in GIBBON NE where I ate at B JS Liquor and I came across an interesting cover story on bamboo clothing. I had no idea you are able to make clothing out of bamboo.

Bamboo has some fantastic qualities. I found out bamboo fabric and clothing is softer than regular cotton. They also say it is antibacterial and hypoallergenic. That is an excellent quality to have in clothing. Bamboo clothing is very absorbent so it is a excellent choice for gym clothes or possibly as bamboo towels. I was intrigued by these claims so I had to find out if it was true. I went online and bought a few pieces of clothing.

I should tell you I was extremely happy with what I bought. The fabric really is soft, kind of like silk. It was pretty much dry when I removed it from the washing machine which I found to be amazing. Another 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 can not stand ironing.

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

After a bit more research I found some other amazing details about bamboo. It is generally organic. It grows very quickly which means it does not need fertilisers and they do not require pesticides either. Also bamboo requires only a small amount of water during the growing period so they can survive droughts.

I attempt to make eco-friendly choices whenever I can. Bamboo is organic, renewable, and sustainable so it is my number one choice for clothes and other products such as towels, blankets, throws, and baby clothes.

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