Bamboo is not generally grown in the US and it takes a lot more intensive processes to turn bamboo into a T-shirt than it does for cotton. I also personally find Bamboo to be too thin and sheer for a good hearty T-shirt. At the moment everything we have is just cotton. I personally love cotton. If you can convince of a good enough reason, I might look into using bamboo.-Jill hi GreenClass Joe-

But I do it with the most minimal packaging using Cradle-to-Cradle USPS envelopes. But aren't most of the clothes and other items you by in the Caribbean flown in from somewhere, at some point, anyway, since there aren't a lot of goods that are actually made in the Caribbean? Its hard to get around that in todays world, especially if you live on an island. Anyways, just a thought. Its a valid concern.-Jill Hi Architechnophilia-

That is unless I can be convinced otherwise.
