BamBoo Bears are made with soft organic materials and bright eye-catching colors to give eco-friendly a stylish new twist. BamBoo Bears are made from luxurious natural bamboo, organic cotton and hemp. They are dyed with safe, low-impact cold water dyes, and stuffed with hypo-allergenic corn-fiber stuffing. "Bamboo fiber is ideal for creating high-quality, soft, and silky fabrics. The feel of bamboo fleece is routinely described as 'soft as cashmere.' Bamboo is grown without the use of pesticides, and is naturally antimicrobial. A bamboo crop can be re-grown every 3 to 5 years, preventing deforestation. Bamboo absorbs ... 35-percent more carbon dioxide from the air than cotton," Sandra Lippard, Founder, Planet Fred, told TDmonthly. Launch date: February 14, 2010. [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]
