Bamboo… who knew?

More than two thirds of the world depends on bamboo as an amazing building material. As a grass, it is readily renewable and can be harvested continually without replanting. Once harvested and cured, it is stronger than maple or red oak.

The fibers of bamboo can be spun into fabric which is incredibly soft, amazingly absorbent, and naturally anti-microbial. With over 2000 known varieties, bamboo may very well be the most useful and versatile natural resource on the planet.
