On Episode 4 of Talking Clean with Irene, Shaun talks us through exactly why bamboo is such a sustainable and eco-friendly fabric, dispelling some of the myths surrounding its production. We discuss how bamboo compares to cotton clothing, the benefits of wearing bamboo, why it falls under "slow" rather than "fast" fashion, and even how we might be able to use our old clothing to insulate housing instead of sending it to landfill. And yes, we even talk about how often we should be replacing our underwear with fresh pairs (although, trust me, you'll be wearing your bamboo undies for a loooooong time.)
