Bamboo Clothing

In 2002 one of 2* Chinese Textile Companies decided to use bamboo instead of wood in the Rayon process and came up with a new fabric. Many different fabrics have since been created out of the idea including; terry, jersey, linens, and some high end fabric made out of bamboo charcoal. It wasn’t originally intended to be a sustainable choice, but has rather started to become that on its own due to the nature of growing bamboo vs. wood.

Bamboo can grow in several temperate climates and requires no pesticides or fertilizers in order to grow. It can be harvested over and over without ever replanting and is the fastest growing plant on the planet. It can grow up to 4 ft. in one hour during certain growing cycles. You can actually watch it grow.

Some of the natural qualities that stay in the fabric are the natural qualities of the bamboo. Bamboo is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and hypo-allergenic. Perfect for anyone with sensitive skin, and so soft and comfortable that it will gradually replace many of your favorite clothes.

Bamboo Clothing Co. one of the many new companies offering bamboo has focused on graphic design, but also offers plain t-shirts, and has plans to introduce many other affordable lines of new clothing for yoga and casual wear. BCC was one of the most affordable of the new lines I have researched and include shipping cost into the shirt price so you know what your paying for and don’t get caught by surprise at checkout.

They also have a lot of information on their Bamboo page about bamboo; everything from growing it to types and climate regions, as well as fabrics and other information. There is even a blog about a bamboo fiber bike frame! There are so many benefits to bamboo that are still being researched, so check out this site from time to time as they continue to add new findings. Word has it that Woody Harrelson is putting together a bamboo and hemp ski clothing business.

I got a chance to try some of the shirts and I will have a hard time going back to some of my old favorites. I am amazed at how soft and comfortable they are, especially on a hot muggy day. One of my friends said they had to keep looking down to make sure they were really wearing something, it is so soft.

The Mathmatics of Economics (revisited)

The shortest point between two distances is a straight comment.
It’s simple mathmatics really; if you take the transcontinental railroad
and divide it by the country, you get the first National Corporation;
multiply that by the media squared and you get the population cubed.

Now divide the population by religion,
subtract the truth from education
and multiply that by terrorism
and you get a icon that occupies a sphere

This makes thermodynamics and inertia possible thusly;
an objective economy in motion will stay in motion
until it is acted upon by an outside war;
this inversly purportional to (oil times the media) squared
over the population.

now lets consider the 2nd law of thermodynamics;
the losses in 3rd world economic health
must be considered acceptable,
in order to keep inflation from… well inflating.

labor plus healthcare, minus 1st world compassion,
equals polution.
it’s cheaper to bury the dead there; and labor without benefits
equals microwaves and color TVs.
It’s a perfect solution. (for mathmaticians)

Without this “acceptable” loss in thermodynamic theory
1st world economics fails to dictate real-world dynamics
and the media squared over the population
become imaginary numbers.

so… without math, there could be no order;
and without order, there could be no economy, therefor;
the New World Order…
is simple mathmatics
