The current world population is 6,692,030,000+. If you don't want to live on a farm and make all of your own clothing, food, materials etc., then you are going to be buying manufactured goods. Bamboo fiber, although chemicals are necessary to break it down, is the most eco friendly option out there, hands down. I actually made myself a comparison chart if anyone is interested in seeing it. Bamboo came out at the top. Nothing in the world of green is perfection, unless of course you are prepared to live off the land. What you do is you choose the least damaging option, the least impact on the earth. Unfortunately, you must ask the questions, research, so you can make informed decisions. Noone is going to make it easy on you in a free market economy. Nuff said. Except one more thing...I am not suprised the cotton industry would be unhappy with bamboo as a competitor fabric. Hmmm, I wonder how the cotton industry's clout has affected the bad rep bamboo fiber is developing. Now there is something to chew on.

We have just launched a baby clothing company in New Zealand manufacturing from organic and eco-friendly bamboo. After extensive research we can say that we absolutely love bamboo. Go Jan lets look for the positive and encourage development of this amazing fibre. Unfortunately there is no eco-friendly or organic fibre that will leave zero impact on our planet.
