BAMBOO – AN EXCELLENT CHOICE

BAMBOO AS FABRIC

Bamboo is an excellent choice for the fabric used for clothing because:

• Bamboo is as soft as silk
• Bamboo keeps you warm when the temperature is cold, and it cools you down when it is hot, because of the hollow structure of the fiber
•Bamboo is very absorbent, and feels dry on the skin

BAMBOO IS AN ECOLOGICAL CHOICE

• • Bamboo is one of the planet’s fastest growing plants
• • Bamboo grows without fertilizers or pesticides, and only requires minimal irrigation
• • Bamboo releases 35% more oxygen to the atmosphere than a tree
• • Bamboo is harvested in a way that leaves the root-system in the soil, which helps to prevents soil erosion and landslides
• • commercially grown bamboo for fabric is not panda food, but a different species altogether.
