There’s a problem with bamboo?

I just ran across the article “Are We Being Bamboozled?” from emagazine.com and it alerted me to a little known fact! Apparently our beloved renewable bamboo isn’t exactly the best material for us to be using as a cloth alternative…or at least it isn’t so good for us due to the intense chemical dousing it goes through to commercially process the bamboo fibers. Check out the article here: http://www.emagazine.com/view/?4801

PS This article caught my eye not only for calling out bamboo – but I couldn’t resist the “bamboozling” reference! (Recall our latest campaign to “Stop the Big Oil Bamboozle”)
