I am becoming more and more immersed in the modern development of sustainable energy, eco-friendly consumerism and ecotourism. In short, going green. So I wanted to post a little blurb about two options available to consumers: Bamboo and Hemp.
Hemp
Clothing, hats, bags and other accessories made of hemp are an organic, eco-friendly option for consumers. Hemp is fast-growing, doesn't require many pesticides, and holds up in a drought, making it easier to produce. Designers such as Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and Giorgio Armani even have hemp collections.
Bamboo
This type of grass can grow up to 24 inches in a day, making it, like Hemp, an extremely renewable resource, and a better option than cotton. Plus, it feels softer than cotton! In addition to being used in clothing manufacturing, bamboo looks much like wood, and is just as sturdy. Bamboo has been the main building material in Asia for eons, and the use of bamboo has become more and more popular here in the states over just the last decade.
OK. #3 next
