Buy a Bamboo pullover, save a Panda

RedpandaExtinct in 4 of the 7 Chinese provinces in which it was previously found, the rare Red Panda is endangered further still due to deforestation (and the resulting loss of Bamboo). Handily, Shirtsof bamboo produces a range of clothing and accessories for Men, Women and kids and the main fibre content is yes - you guessed it - bamboo.  100% biodegradable and grown without pesticides, bamboo ticks all the ethical boxes and www.shirtsofbamboo.com is even sending a donation from every garment sold to the Red Panda and endangered species fund.

Sorry to be negative about this, but are we guaranteed the bamboo from the shirts is sustainably harvested and not adding to deforestation? I have read a few places of late that the increasing popularity of bamboo, is leading to clearing of other forests in China to grow bamboo...
