Green clothing?

[flippinout]

Are you looking for clothing that fits into the "going green" thing that everyone is trying these days? If so, take a look at these two fibers used for clothing and their advantages.

Believe it, clothing made from bamboo fibers are very durable and soft.

It is easily dyable which can eliminate a lot of chemicals being used in the production of cloth from which to make different pieces of clothing.

Bamboo is advantageous as a fiber for cloth because it grows rapidly and doesnt require pesticides as it has its own built in anti-bacterial agent. Plus, it is biodegradable.

Bamboo is often paired a cotton blend in clothes, and sheets and pillow cases made from bamboo fibers have a silky feel to them and feel wam in the winter and cool in the summer. Now thats a real advantage.

Just wash clothing etc in cool water and hang to dry.

Hemp clothing is another option, hemp is the most durable of all fibers and can be used in jeans because of this fact.

Hemp clothing is durable, lightweight, it is also impervious to uv rays and is mold resistant.

Hemp can be used in dresses, blouses, etc and is even used in canvas, ropes, some building materials and skin care products.
