My friends "ECO" and Bamboo...hand in hand!

Great day for the eco happy hound on the hunt for the new 'must haves'.

Samsung is launching a new more environmentally friendly phone. The case is made entirely out of recycled plastic, and has zero toxic materials and is charged through a solar panel on the back of the device. Though this phone doesn't come in the 'eco' green, we are all accustom to, I still find it to be an innovator in the cell phone arena.

So you had your sugar now for some medicine...

Bamboo fabric is a natural textile made from the pulp of the bamboo grass. Bamboo fabric has been growing in popularity because it has many unique properties and is more sustainable than most textile fibers. When woven, bamboo fabric is light and strong, has excellent wicking properties, and is to some extent antibacterial. The use of bamboo fiber for clothing was a 20th century development, pioneered by several Chinese corporations.

Let's see where the trends take us next. Garment production using bamboo fabrics is on the rise...so be on the look out for the new bamboo duds this Spring and Summer, and keep an eye out for any wandering panda bears. You're outfit might look too tempting to resist a taste. Oh, and if you're not calling me from your new 'eco' phone...then don't call me at all.
