I travel quite a lot for my studies and so often end up having my dinner by myself in local restaurants. I usually take a book or magazine with me to help pass the time. Recently, I was in LOUISVILLE KY where I ate at Don Da Leon Sandwich Shop & Deli and I came across a really interesting cover story on bamboo clothing. I did not know you could make clothes out of bamboo.
Bamboo has some great qualities. For example, bamboo clothing is softer than organic cotton. They also say it is antibacterial and good for you if you suffer from allergies. That is an excellent quality to have in clothes. Bamboo clothing is extremely absorbent making it a good possibility for gym clothes or also as bamboo towels. I was interested by this article so I had to find out if it was true. I looked online and purchased some pieces of clothing.
I must say I was pretty impressed with the quality. The fabric absolutely is soft, not unlike silk. It was pretty much dry when I removed it from the washing machine which I thought was amazing. Another thing I noticed is that it did not necessarily need much ironing. I I am unaware if all bamboo clothes are like that but it is what I look for as I can not stand ironing.
You can find the latest bamboo clothes here or there are many organic apparel stores where you can purchase organic cotton clothes as well bamboo sheets.
After a little more research I found some other incredible pieces of information to do with bamboo. It is a product which is organic. It grows incredibly fast which means it does not need any fertilisers and they do not use pesticides either. Also bamboo needs little water during the growth period meaning 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 clothes and other products such as robes, underwear, throws, and baby clothes.
You can find some details on bamboo here and good points about organic farming and how to choose organic produce.
