There was an article recently about bamboo vs cotton and I cant find it. Bamboo is not as green as everyone seems to think it is. Yes it is a quick growing source of fiber but it takes more to process then cotton does resulting in more pollutants in the environment. Have you considered even Alpaca fibers? they are a great source of "green" fibers and make a beautiful cloth. There is also a newer batting out called Quilters Dream Green that is made in part from recycled soda pop bottles, very soft and very nice to work with, hand or machine.
