    This is an excellent lens! I recently set up our wedding registry and had a blast finding bamboo kitchen utensils, organic linen sheets, and organic cotton towels. This lens is worth sharing. Great job, keep spreading the word about sustainable living!

    Enjoyed your discussion of natural plant fibers, as you can see I am a big fan of burlap.

    Great lens! What a lot of detailed information. You can't beat the natural materials for flexibility versus man made ones.

    I think word green is overrated and exploited. Cotton is great example, I read almost half, not 25 % pesticides go for cotton grow... Nylon is 100 times more friendly to environment... It is good you write about this subject!

    Very interesting. I always go for the natural cotton, silk, linen, hemp and bamboo products, which seem so much cooler.

    Wow! So much information! Thanks for sharing.

    Well, I like those fabrics that let my skin breathe, since I live in a very hot and humid climate. But, I don't like ironing ... so it needs to be a fabric that doesn't wrinkle too badly.

    Quite fascinating. I never knew that the Declaration and our first flag were associated with hemp. I have been reading about sheep and wool production, so it was interesting to read more here. Thanks for another very fine web page and collection of valuable resources. Always appreciated.

    Hemp is a big thing on the Big Island of Hawaii and it's amazing what they can do with it. Bamboo is another one. I have had the luxury experiencing the silky material that was made from bamboo fibers! Amazing.

    I switched to natural fibers when I learned that they don't cause static like synthetic fibers. Bye bye to chemicals like fabric softener and static guard!

    I thought I knew quite about about fabric, but I learned much more from this excellent presentation. I still can't understand how cotton can be grown organically given all we learned about the boll weevil in school, but I'm so glad that it's available.

    Excellent job on explaining the different fabrics and how the manufacturing of those fabrics impacts our environment.

    What an interesting lens. I never thought about this before. Too bad the greener stuff costs more green. you'd think since they didn't have to pay for pesticides and chemicals it would be cheaper.
  • davis66 Jan 27, 2010 @ 4:09 am | delete
    This is a really informative article about fabrics both natural and man made. Nice lens!
