Did you know...

A field of bamboo produces as much as 30% more oxygen than is produced by a forest of hardwood trees of a commensurate size. This results in a greater reduction of green-house gases

Sustainability of Bamboo

Bamboo is actually a type of grass which means that it can re-plant itself after harvesting. It grows without fertilizers or pesticides and....it grows extremely fast, some species grow 3 feet in a day.

Water Control

Bamboo has a wide spreading root system, holding the soil together and preventing erosion.

De-toxification

Bamboo can retain water in its shoots and consumes nitrogen, acting as a detoxicant and preventing water pollution.
