Spun Bamboo: Sustainability while Cutting the Toxins.
The positive results of wearing Spun Bamboo clothing go well beyond the consumer’s enjoyment of soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, organic fabric, but also include benefits that can affect the entire global community. Purchasing and wearing Spun Bamboo promotes and supports the growth of our bamboo plantations which are harvested on a rotational basis. That means that while other crops like cotton must be entirely decimated at the time of harvest thereby causing bare soils to bake and release more carbon into our atmosphere, Spun Bamboo plantations are harvested in portions at a time. There will always be some part of the plantation still standing and doing good for the environment. And since bamboo grows like grass, sending up new shoots continually and in a sustainable manner, harvesting bamboo is similar to mowing your lawn. Replanting is not necessary as it is with other crops, thereby reducing the carbon footprint even further. And contrary to the claim that land is clear cut to make way for bamboo, our bamboo plantations have been in existence for decades. People need to understand China and Asia in general have been utilizing bamboo for generations, for everything from building material to furniture to food.
Meanwhile, as the Spun Bamboo plantations are growing, the bamboo itself is working to make our environment a better place. Among other benefits, bamboo takes in 5 times as much green house gas, and produces 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees. What an amazing natural source to replenish our fresh air and fight global warming!
Our Spun Bamboo plantations are also pesticide and fertilizer free, as bamboo flourishes on its own, and naturally resists pests. This is a break-through fabric when you consider that conventional cotton uses more insecticides than any other single crop and epitomizes the worst effects of chemically dependent agriculture. The typical spraying application results in volatile organic compounds released into the air and contributing to green house gases. Additionally, such spraying harms the health of the soil and pollutes the ground water, lakes and streams. Five of the top nine pesticides used on cotton in the U.S. (cyanide, dicofol, naled, propargite, and trifluralin) are KNOWN cancercausing chemicals. All nine are classified by the U.S. EPA as Category I and II— the most dangerous chemicals. Here’s something to think about: it takes nearly a pound of such chemicals to grow the cotton for one pair of pants and a shirt. Spun Bamboo provides a superior and eco-friendly alternative to such pesticide-intensive crops, and to petrochemical based fibers like nylon and polyester.
