Don't be bamboozled by bamboo textile green claims

For those of you who didn't see or read the most recent www.ethiquette.ca bulletin, I just wanted to warn you not to buy bamboo textiles thinking they are a greener option. While some textile articles may be derived from bamboo pulp, they have not been made from natural bamboo fiber and are, in fact, rayon fibers made through a chemical process.
