Petroleum and Bamboo Clothing? Say whaaaa?

So here's a tie in: the polyester material previously mentioned, is a synthetic fabric whose invention was a revelation for the low cost and production of the clothing we buy and wear everyday.
Wanna know something interesante? Polyester is made from Petroleum! Thus, the clothing on our bodies each and every day can severely affect the environment - creating emissions of dangerous organic compounds and gases into the air.


How can we avoid this? Dun..Dun..Dun..Dunnnn... Eco Friendly Fibers!


Examples -

• Tencel
• SeaCell . . yea, it has seaweed in it! Apparently an 'excellent source of calcium'.
• Lenpur . . it's like cashmere.
• Eco-fi . . made of plastic bottles!

So what  is considered one of the leading materials in this whole new innovation of "eco-chic"? BAMBOO

Yep, this guy's breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The bamboo is crushed and pulped, and made into a fibre that is much like the feel of cotton. 

So, what are the benefits of wearing "this plant"?

1. it is actually quite soft, smooth, and comfy
2. it absorbs sweat easily, therefore your clothes are not sticking to you and you stay dry
3. it is like a natural air conditioner: leaving you cooler in the heat, and warmer in the chill
4. it kills bacteria, keeping you cleaner and odor-free
5. UV protective from the sun rays
6. anti-fungal (hehe)
