Today is National Underwear Day. It was started several years ago by Freshpair.com, and since its inception, it’s gone from a NYC-based fashion show and freebie giveaway to a national event and online sensation. So what does underwear have to do with saving trees?
The answer: underwear gives us another chance to be eco-friendly. Bamboo, which we wrote about in a previous article, can be used to make fabric, which is then used to make, among other things, underwear. And to hear some tell it, the underwear made from bamboo is superior to the usual kind. It dries quickly, lets your skin breathe, and feels as comfortable (or more so) than other fabrics.
Worried about style? Don’t be. Bamboo fabric is so versatile and is becoming so widely accepted that you can find cute, sexy styles in bamboo underwear, making your earth-friendly shopping as stylish as usual.
Bamboo is such a great, sustainable resource with such a low impact on the environment that we really should try to use it whenever we can as as substitute for wood and other materials. Embracing bamboo underwear is just one step on that path, and for National Underwear Day, there are few better ways to celebrate!
You can also help preserve trees by signing up for the onemilliontrees movement, sponsored by Privacy Council. Save at least a tree a year by cutting down your junk mail. You’ll do yourself and the environment a favor!
