Today in the Wall Street Journal, Christina Binkley does a nice job investigating the claims that bamboo fabric is bad for the environment.

We already checked out this issue last year, when we spotted a bamboo-made dress on a favorite fashion website, and sort of freaked out- in a bad way.

Now the WSJ reveals more about how bamboo is cut, treated, dyed, and shaped into cloth, and what repercussions those  actions have on both the fabric and the planet.

They’ve even got photos from inside a “bamboo factory” which is pretty cool.
