In an attempt to live the good life, ie. indulge in healthy habits and make purchasing decisions that are respectful and healthy for the plant and our communities, we must consider the clothes we wear. For me one of  the most environmentally friendly decisions I can make when buying clothes is shopping at thrift stores. The obvious benefits are that you are reusing a potential waste product, not buying new products and most of the time thrift stores are also not for profits, such as Goodwill, that contribute to our low income community members. however there are benefits of buying new clothes if you choose environmentally and social preferable products. This could be USA made organic cotton clothes and / or bamboo clothes that are produced in an environmentally preferable manner. Both contribute to small business growth that contribute to economic growth while promoting businesses that offer practices that are helping protect and ensure social and environmental stewardship.  

But what about Rayon? I know that Rayon is a heavy chemical process and if we buy bamboo clothes isn’t it derived from Rayon? And if so is there a safe way to make bamboo rayon? Watch the following video and you make the call.
