Clothing made from bamboo is gaining worldwide popularity, and one of the biggest sellers currently is bamboo socks.
Bamboo is one of the most cost-efficient and eco-friendly crops due to its fast growth rate (grows to 75 ft. in 45 days) and its natural ability to regenerate new growth without replanting. It also takes in 5 times more greenhouse gases and produces more oxygen than most trees. For many of us, buying choices are increasingly influenced by the impact on the earth’s ability to sustain the resources we need. Bamboo is a good choice for this reason and others.
