They absorb about 5 times the amount of carbon dioxide, a primary greenhouse gas, and produce about 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees. They also have a natural anti-bacterial agent which gives them a natural function of deodorization. But most of all, bamboo fabrics feel very silky and luxurious. I have just changed my sheets from cotton to bamboo and I cannot tell you how amazing bamboo sheets feel. They are extremely soft and silky. Here is where I ordered them from: http://www.greenhome.com/products/bedding/pillowcases_and_shams/116581/ I also bought an amazing bamboo robe on greenhome.com: http://www.greenhome.com/products/bath/towels_and_robes/114451/ and to complete my bamboo collection, I had to get the bamboo towels which feel amazing: http://www.greenhome.com/products/bath/towels_and_robes/114444/ Bamboo plants are an extremely environmental friendly plant.

We are in the process of building our storefront Green Earth Bamboo where we will be offering Bamboo Sheets, Bamboo Bath products, Clothing and Baby Products. We are so excited because we have been testing all of our products prior to selecting which ones we want to offer. And to be honest, they are all fabulous! I have never felt a fabric so soft in my life! In addition to selling bamboo products, we want to be as equally informative about bamboo fabric, eco-friendly fabrics and how they impact our environment. Therefore, we have put together a very comprehensive website filled with Bamboo Facts. We are currently hosting this information on our temporary website as we continue to build our online Bamboo Store which will open end of April, 2009. We highly suggest checking out Bamboo Fabric first hand. Once you have felt the comfort of bamboo, nothing else will compare. <a href="http://www.greenearthbamboo.com" rel="nofollow">Green Earth Bamboo</a> Isn’t bamboo the best?!

I was so impressed I started to work with him- and recommended bamboo to my friends and business Assosciates
The benfits to the environment are irrifutable- anything that can reduce water and pesticide use has to make sense
The clothes are so soft, warm or cool as you need - my friends and colleagues are all in agreement and regular customers

We tested 100% bamboo versus blended bamboo with cotton and all the volunteers agreed that the 100% bamboo feels better against the skin, hangs better and looks more elegant and silky. Bamboo is a shapeable, flexible fabric and can be shaped when it is damp to fit one's unique body type. Truly amazing. The clothing we have designed is made to follow the curves of the body-nothing is every cut boxy or with hard angles--it's all soft and flowing just like the bamboo fabric itself, so every component is harmonious. Bamboo fabric is unlike any other natural fabric. Own something from 100% bamboo and feel for yourself. www.underthesunbamboo.com We here in Amsterdam design clothing made from 100% bamboo fabric and it is a very durable, strong fiber that drapes beautifully.

Well done! I only recently discovered how fabulous bamboo clothing is in the past two years and now I buy it all the time! In fact, I went to this new festival at the EXPO center called The Energy Trust Better Living Show and found a few vendors with bamboo clothing, towels, bedding, etc. It was pretty neat! I think I went home with five new shirts and two sets of bathroom towels for relatively cheap. The show is happening again March 28-30 this year, 2009. Everyone should go! If not just for the bamboo products, to support the sustainability movement. They have other products too. Here's their website www.betterlivingshow.org. Oh and admission is free!

It simply not strong enough and will break after a few washes. Now bamboo blend will hold up stronger. If blending the fabric it should be done with organic cotton otherwise it defeats the purpose. All the properties you mention are correct. In examining some test result of cotton (non-organic) with Bamboo it showed that the bamboo eats away any bacteria from the non-organic cotton. Pretty cool stuff! However, it doesn't do away with it 100% hence the problem of non-organic. At first I wanted to use bamboo for my eco kids clothing line I run. However, after several testing of bamboo I realized it would not be the good choice for me. Another thing to note about 100% bamboo is that it shrinks. I have opted to using certified organic cotton with all my styles. Come and check us out at www.earthybeginnings.com. Lastly, no clothing should end in landfills... Need to get rid of some? Then donate them! There are several companies that collect used clothing to send to underprivileged nations. Hope this was helpful!
