Bamboo has become the "super plant" of the home goods industry.  You can make pretty much anything out of it.  Furniture, cutting boards, flooring, linens...and of course bath towels.  Towels make it onto every engaged couple's registry list.  I was married in 2004 and I am no longer using the bath towels I was given.  They've been worn, frayed, and are now kind of scratchy.  Bamboo is the most durable hard wood and that makes for strong towels.  That got my attention.  Bamboo feels silky and becomes soft and luxurious when combined with organic cotton fibers.  A strong and soft towel!  We are really getting somewhere here.  Bamboo fibers are anti-bacterial and fast drying...we're creating a super towel!  And of course, bamboo is super green - grows fast to renew quickly and emits 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than a similarly sized forest of trees. 
I'm sold.  The good news?  Bamboo towels are pretty easy to find.  I picked Soft Forest towels to mention because they also write a very informative blog.  Check them out!
