Soybeans & Bamboo hit the big time!
The eco world loves just how versatile bamboo is: it grows over 3 times faster than cotton, and can be used for just about anything! Soybeans, other than being healthy for you to eat, are also starting to take shape as a great eco-alternative to chemically-ladened goods that are found all over the world. I have to say that I was pleasently dumbfounded when I found out that one of the very popular fashion-forward brands, Max Studio, has over 10 different items in its Fall 2005 collection that are made in-part from soybeans, bamboo, or both!

I'm also a fan of the few new home brands that are out that makes bowls & lots of other things from bamboo. I also know of a few clothing companies that make all their clothes from bamboo. True, soy is going to help your body more by eating so - it is a wonderful source of natural protein. Still, being able to draw attention to how great it is as a food & cloth is a great start!
