bamboo.jpgJust found out about the bamboo Socks! Unlike other anti-microbialeco-active-sport-crew.jpg fabrics, which require a chemical treatment, bamboo fiber clothing is naturally anti-microbial and requires no harmful chemicals. It contains an agent, “bamboo kun”, that prevents bacteria from cultivating on it. Bamboo apparel is comfortable, thermal regulating and will keep you cooler, drier, warmer and odor free.Today, almost 1 million acres of forest vanish per week.  This alarming rate of deforestation has forced many world economies to rethink their business and manufacturing practices.  A sixty-foot tree cut for market takes 60 years to replace.  Meanwhile, a sixty-foot bamboo cut for market takes 59 days to replace.  Bamboo is officially recognized as the world’s fastest growing plant and has a tensile strength comparable to steel.  Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on this planet and provides the best canopy for the greening of degraded lands. (Some species of Bamboo grow as much as 4 feet a day).  Its stands release 35% more oxygen than equivalent stands of trees.  Bamboo can also lower light intensity and protects against ultraviolet rays.
