Five Reasons We Love Bamboo

1. Bamboo makes a great fabric: soft (think silk or cashmere), durable, and beautiful.
2. It is sustainable. Wikipedia says bamboo is "the fastest growing plant in the world," and the American Bamboo Society quotes sources who claim bamboo has been measured to grow as much as 47+ inches in one 24-hour period.
3. Bamboo is hypoallergenic, and clothes made of bamboo will not irritate sensitive skin. It also does not hold odor, which makes bamboo perfect exercise gear.
4. Multi-purpose: bamboo is delicious and edible, and can be used for furniture, construction, medicine, clothing, and more!
5. Organic. Bamboo does not rely on chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
