Did You Know...?

Bamboo is the greenest building material on the planet! Because it grows so quickly, fully maturing in 4 years (trees take upwards of 35 years to mature!) and growing to heights of more than 60ft and sometimes growing more than 3ft in one day, bamboo is truly the best material to build new homes and buildings with.

Bamboo is also incredibly durable and strong, besting some steel alloys! Harvesting bamboo allows the root system to stay in tact so that there is no soil erosion or degradation of the land, unlike harvesting trees.

Bamboo also makes a fantastic fiber for clothing and bedding. It is naturally antibacterial and antifungal! It keeps you 2-3 degrees cooler in the heat and 2-3 degrees warmer in the cold. The natural make up of the bamboo makes it naturally waterproof and makes it softer than the softest cotton available. It may also give a light sheen effect.

There are over 100 bamboo products on the market today! Try something bamboo next time you need something new in your kitchen, bedroom or wardrobe!
