Bamboo Clothing Boom

What is so great about bamboo?

  • It grows so fast it has a world record for the fastest growing plant. It can grow as much as 47.6 inches in a 24-hour period.
  • Bamboo removes carbon dioxide from the air and helps the environment by producing more oxygen.
  • Bamboo is a hardy plant, renews itself and does not need cut down.
  • It also does not require pesticides or fertilizers. This makes it ideal for people with sensitive skin or allergies and it’s a popular organic choice for babies. Bamboo Baby is a fun place to look around and they sell baby bedding as well as clothing.
  • It is also ideal to use for clothing because it is soft and silky. While it’s breathable and durable, bamboo is also biodegradable.
  • Because it’s thermal regulating it keeps you cooler or warmer depending on what the season is.

Bamboo is becoming a popular eco-conscious clothing choice. My mom is even wearing it.
