A great article from Ecosalon on The 20 Greenest Materials: A Handy Reference Guide:
Here is a go-to list of the friendliest materials that have our planet covered.
1. Bamboo Fiber
The eco fiber option of choice, bamboo is woven into everything from fashionable dresses like those made by Spun in Seattle and other respected labels, to towels, totes and interior elements such as window treatments. This natural textile is made from the pulp of the bamboo grass and is best in the organic form – pure and unbleached. It is a strong fabric, considered more durable and sustainable than conventional textile fiber.
