Do you often hear yourself asking that very simple question? Why bamboo? Why should I invest in bamboo clothing, bamboo furniture, bamboo household goods, bamboo landscaping? Why should I choose bamboo? I ask, why not?

Bamboo is an underutilized renewal resource that is just as effective and sturdy as conventional hard wood materials, such as oak, pine, and maple. Bamboo can be dried, treated, molded and fashioned into virtually any shape, size or form, and stain a motley of different shades. It is less expensive to manufacture and it can be replenished quickly in nature. So why not bamboo?

If you are still not convinced, think about this. Trees can take almost sixty years to grow and mature to the appropriate size for logging. That means, if you plant a tree today, sometime in six decades, your grandchildren will be able to harvest that tree. It also means that the natural resources trees offer is being depleted quicker than we can restore them. Yet, with bamboo, it takes an average of sixty days for them to grow and mature to the appropriate size and an average of five years to be dried and treated. Think of how many crops of bamboo could be harvested, treated and sold in the time it would take to grow one tree!

With bamboo’s versatility, it can virtually eliminate the need to timber trees, which means deforestation can be reversed. We can finally leave the Amazon rainforest alone, because we have a renewal resource in plentiful amounts across the world. Bamboo FAQ
