“Bamboo is a sustainable resource which is produced without the use of pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals. This means the soil in which bamboo is grown retains its micro and macro organisms, ensuring the fertility of the soil. The lack of toxic chemical runoff also means that local waterways such as rivers and streams will not become polluted. Other benefits to the environment are that bamboo crops require much less water than cotton and they produce much more oxygen. Overall, it’s a great plant which can be made into many products including affordable bamboo underwear and socks.”
