Although bamboo hard goods, ie flooring, salad bowls, etc. might be considered a sustainble choice, though this is arguable since ancient Asian forests are being clearcut to make way for bamboo 'farms' because of growing demand in the West, bamboo fabric is never a green choice at all. Unlike organic cotton, which is always an environmental benefit, the process of turning bamboo plants into the silky yarn that feels so soft is very similar to rayon (which is considered synthetic even though it comes from wood pulp). This is because the process of breaking down the fiber is highly chemically intensive. It's dangerous to plant workers and horrible to surrounding environments. Sorry, bamboo fabric is not a green choice at all. Organic cotton is never finished with any chemical agents from farm to yarn. it's treated mechanically and with water only.
