A Bamboo T-Shirt?

Yep, that's right. You read that correctly. A T-shirt made out of Bamboo. Who wudda thunk it? Well, a sustainable company who is also socially responsible in helping others, called Bamboomerangs, thunk it, they did!

I stumbled across this company and their website via mutual Twitter friends, and am really impressed with their philosophies and their product. They offer a T-Shirt made out of 70% real Bamboo and the remaining is made out of 30% organic cotton. Isn't that the coolest??!!

You've got to go to their website and read the Bamboo Facts. Like, did you know that a Bamboo grove releases 35% more oxygen than the same size stand of trees? Please go to their site for more interesting info.

The folks at Bamboomerangs also have a "One for One" policy. For every Bamboo shirt they sell, they give one away to someone in need. WOW, that just so impresses me!

I've placed my order for my first "sustainable" Bamboo T-shirt and look forward to more purchases in the near future. The Bamboomerangs folks say that the shirts run one size small, so I'm going to get that size thing straight, before ordering more.

Please be sure to check out their Website, share it with your friends, and let us know how you like their site and their product.

Great Reads For Earth Day

My new friend, Alix Gnoske Davila, from Recycle Me Organic Cotton T-Shirts, has a blog post this week that lists some great reading material on environmental issues and pioneers of the environmental movement. While at her blog, please check out the very cute Eco Chic T's that she offers.

Another great book that I've previously mentioned in this blog, is Green Goes With Everything by Sloan Barnett. A New York Times Best Seller, the book has some easy suggestions and is very educational.

And then, check out the Green Goes With Everything website, and calculate your Body Burden score. This test shows you about the pollution exposures to your body. After calculating your score, you can use the tips in Sloan Barnett's book to reduce your exposures.
