Bamboo is an environmentally-sound choice

Bamboo is actually a grass, not a wood, that grows to a harvestable height within 3-5 years. Some species grow up to 2 feet per day! It plays an important role in the reduction of timber consumption and supports environmental and forest protection. Bamboo grows without fertilizers or pesticides. It has an extensive root system that continually sends up new shoots - naturally replenishing itself - making it one of the most renewable resources known.
