there are many types of bamboo, but even walmart quit carrying a certain brand when they found out the chemical process used to make was actually leaving too many chemicals in the batting!

As far as it being "green". While bamboo grows quite quickly and is considered a sustainable source, it is my understanding that the process of turning it from plant to fiber (batting or cloth) involves a lot of nasty chemicals so the processing negates any "greeness" of sustainability and renewable source.
