ORGANIC BAMBOOi<br />
Bamboo is made from the cellulose extracted from the<br />
bamboo plant, which is the fastest-growing woody plant<br />
in the world and capable of growing up to four feet a day.<br />
Bamboo is a naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic fiber<br />
that does not rely on using chemicals or pesticides. The plant<br />
adds more oxygen to the atmosphere than trees and it has<br />
a complex root system that helps fight erosion. Clothing that<br />
is made of bamboo can be worn all year long, has superior<br />
absorption and breathable qualities due to the fiber's<br />
various micro-holes. This allows the fabric to rapidly<br />
evaporate human sweat rapidly. Compared to cotton, it uses<br />
one third less water to grow, is four times more absorbent,<br />
is soft to the touch and it is less likely to shrink. The fiber is<br />
100% biodegradable, which means unlike synthetic clothing, is<br />
safe for disposal programs.<br />
