I move around a lot for my studies and so regularly end up having my dinner alone in local restaurants. I usually take a novel or magazine with me to make me feel less alone. Last week, I was in WILMINGTON NC where I ate at Pasqualies Pizza and I came across a new piece on bamboo. I did not realise you are able to make fabric out of bamboo.

Bamboo has some amazing qualities. I found out bamboo fabric is softer than most cotton. They say it is antibacterial and hypo-allergenic. That is an excellent quality to have in a fabric. Bamboo clothing is highly absorbent so it is a excellent option for gym gear or possibly as bamboo towels. I was fascinated by these claims so I had to find out if it was true. I looked online and purchased a few pieces of clothing.

I should tell you I was pretty happy with what I bought. The fabric really is soft, not unlike silk. It was almost dry as soon as I took it out of the washing machine which I thought was amazing. Another thing I noticed is that it did not particularly require ironing. I am not sure if all bamboo clothing is like that but it is something I look for as I can not stand ironing.

You can find the latest bamboo clothes here or there are numerous organic clothing stores where you can purchase organic cotton clothes as well bamboo towels.

After a bit more research I found out some other incredible details to do with bamboo. It is a product which is organic. It grows very quickly which means it does not require fertilisers and they do not require pesticides either. Also bamboo needs very little water during the growing period meaning they can survive droughts.

I try to make eco-friendly choices whenever I do my shopping. Bamboo is organic, renewable, and sustainable making it my number one choice for clothes and other products such as robes, socks, curtains, and baby clothes.

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