  ustainablity, in broad sense, is the capacity to endure. It can be defined as the ability
of an ecosystem to maintain ecological processes, functions, biodiversity and productivity into the future. In ecology, the world describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. For humans it is the potential for long term maintenance of wellbeing, which in turn depends on the wellbeing of the natural world and the responsible use of natural resources. |

 The positive results of wearing 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. 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, 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. 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, plantations have been in existence for decades. People need to understand China and Asia in have been utilizing bamboo for generations, from building material to furniture to food. Bamboo itself is constantly working to make our environment a better place! |

Bamboo takes in 5 times as much green house gas, and produces 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees, an amazing natural source to replenish our air and fight global warming! Plantations are also pesticide and fertilizer free, as bamboo flourishes on its own, and naturally resists pests. Conventional cotton uses more insecticides than any other single crop! Five of the top nine pesticides used on cotton in the U.S. (Cyanide, Dicofol, Naled, Propargite, and Trifluralin) are KNOWN cancer-causing chemicals. It takes nearly a pound of such pesticides to grow the cotton for one pair of pants and a shirt! Bamboo is anti-bacterial. This cuts down on bacteria-causing odors keeping you stink-free! Naturally soil resistant. Bamboo fiber is very slick and dense, giving clothing a natural sheen! |
