Think Green Think Bamboo
If you think of bamboo as food that panda bears eat, you better think again. Bamboo is going to be huge, because it is a renewable resource. Whereas hardwood trees take 50 to 100 years to develop for use in furniture, a bamboo forest regenerates every 5 years, and some species of the trees can grow up to one foot per day. Also, bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial, less affected by temperature and extremely durable.
In Montreal we have a Bamboo Entrepot and when you walk in, you will be blown away by the bamboo flooring and kitchen cupboards. There is fabulous furniture (couch, tables, wine bar, bathtub!) and a section of clothing (t-shirts, robes, yoga pants, men’s sweats, hoodies) and linens which are hypoallergenic.
