I travel quite a lot for my studies and so regularly end up having dinner alone in restaurants. I like to take a novel or magazine with me to make me feel less alone. The other day, I was in ROCHESTER NY where I ate at Asian Xui and I read a new cover story on bamboo. I did not know you could make clothes out of bamboo.

Bamboo has some amazing qualities. For example, bamboo fabric is softer than most cotton. Apparently it is antibacterial and hypoallergenic. That is a great quality to have in clothes. Bamboo clothing is extremely absorbent so it is a good choice for gym clothes or possibly as bamboo towels. I was fascinated by this article so I had to find out if this was really the case. I went online and got a few items of clothing.

I have to say I was extremely impressed with the quality. The fabric really is soft, not unlike silk. It was close to being dry as soon as I removed it from the washing machine which I think is great. The other thing I noticed is that it did not really require ironing. I am not sure if all bamboo clothes are like that but it is what I look for as I hate doing ironing.

Check out the latest bamboo clothes here or there are plenty of organic clothing stores where you can buy organic cotton clothes as well bamboo sheets.

After some more research I discovered some other amazing details about bamboo. It is generally organic. It grows extremely rapidly which means it does not need fertilisers and they do not use pesticides either. As well as that, bamboo requires very little water during the growth period meaning they can survive droughts.

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

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