The TH Week :: Fabulous Fibers

by Dominic Muren, Philadelphia, USA on 12. 8.06

TH Exclusives (The TH Week)

You might say that environmentalism is the fiber that binds us Treehuggers together. Unfortunately, walking around in nothing but environmentalism can get you arrested in most states. So, this week, we highlighted some great eco-fibers to get your clothes (and other things) made from.

:: Kyeann found this lingerie spun from cellulose from extra pine tree clippings.

:: Lloyd tracked down a roundup of eco-friendly home insulation.

:: Lloyd also cautioned us to be attentive to just what kind of bamboo was going into our various objects.

:: Lloyd was smokin' with this last entry on coconut shell fiber clothing which stops stink.

:: Warren found Butta's undies made from bamboo, and in Africa.
