Green Guide: Bamboo - a list by hapa_lee

Options for This Page

About this list:

Bamboo has quickly become a terrific alternative to cotton or other types of clothing. As a resource, bamboo is sustainable - there's a turnaround grow time of 4 years - and it replenishes soil that's been degraded as well. Additionally, it's incredibly soft, breathable, and long-lasting. Whether or not you're choosing bamboo for the eco quality, it's a great material that deserves a lot of credit.

Description

Jason Mraz started a clothing company. I know, you're thinking 'another celebrity, another clothing line' but Mraz has some good intentions that stem from some good thinking - eco-friendly, green, sustainable. Blend Apparel's shirts are all made with 100% bamboo, a sustainable resource.

Bamboo Bed Sheets

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

The sheets are actually 70% bamboo / 30% cotton, but that's enough bamboo wonderfulness to exhibit bamboo's great qualities: antifungal, antistatic, antibacterial, smooth, silky, and moisture wicking (for those humid nights). Go bamboo!

Men's and Women's House Robe

First to recommend

Description

Want to know why the guy in the image is so happy? Because he knows he's doing good for the environment and he's ridiculously comfortable. This robe is available for men and women and is the essence of comfort. It's made of bamboo and therefore is nice and soft.

Women's 100% Bamboo Fiber Crew Neck

First to recommend

Description

I love wearing t-shirts and long sleeves. They're comfortable and simple and go with everything. When they're made of bamboo, as these ones are, I luck out even more because they'll last longer (due to the antibacterial and other 'anti' qualities), feel better, and are better for the environment.

Ladies Yoga Pant

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Yoga pants are ridiculously popular and comfy. I actually need a pair because trying to go to yoga in sweats or spandex is not the funnest thing in the world. With a pair made of 70% stretch bamboo, I might actually go to yoga more.

Bamboo Hand Knitting Yarn

I'm not really a knitter, but if I were - I would use this. 100% bamboo yarn. Whatever you make out of it will be nice and soft...even better than normal yarn.

BambooBaby Panda

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

This little guy is so adorable. I love that he's entirely bamboo too. Is that some weird symbolism (pandas eat bamboo, now there are panda toys made of bamboo)? Anywho, he's even filled with bamboo fiber. I don't think there's a sweeter eco-friendly toy out there.

Bamboo Washcloths

First to recommend

Description

Talk about good timing - I'm going to be needing to replace my sponge very soon. I'm fairly certain that I will be replacing it with this bamboo washcloth. As much as I love using a sponge, I know that this will be a terrific replacement because I won't have to worry about bacteria and I'll have a nice cotton alternative.
