Just How Earth Friendly Is Bamboo?
You may have noticed that everywhere you look these days, you’re seeing bamboo products that you’ve never seen before – even bamboo clothing! Bamboo has made a huge wave in the environmental movement and has gained popularity in a wide array of home furnishings from rugs to furniture.
Five great reasons to consider selecting bamboo as an earth friendly alternative to other products:
1. Bamboo matures and can be replanted within seven years as compared to thirty to fifty years for most hardwood trees.
2. Bamboo releases approximately 35 percent more oxygen into the air than trees of similar size.
3. Bamboo helps improve soil conditions and prevents erosion wherever it grows.
4. Bamboo grows rapidly and spreads quickly with very little water and no need for additional fertilizers or pesticides. It just grows – sometimes as much as four feet per day.
5. Many different types of bamboo grow throughout the world, including southeastern U.S.
So if you’re looking for earth-friendly products when purchasing home furnishings, look for bamboo!
