Bamboo Environmentally Friendly
Ranked #14,222 in Home & Garden, #197,634 overall | Donates to Big Cat Rescue, Peace First
Some uses include bag pipes, acupuncture needles, boats, beads, fencing and flooring, shingles and tea houses, bicycles, brooms, longboards, paper pulp, reeds, skewers, yoga pants, remedies, trellises, and yurts. This is an eco-friendly fabric. It is strong and durable and is the fastest growing plant. You can produce just about anything you can imagine with bamboo which is a grass!
It's durability makes bamboo perfect for use on floors. It is a renewable resource because it grows so fast (much faster than growing most hard woods). And the forest itself is so dense that it takes up less forest space or land. You can regrow bamboo seven times quicker than most woods.
Bamboo is harder and more sturdy than maple. And it will endure long term. If you use bamboo you're conserving other trees. Bamboo's extensive root system prevents soil erosion and regulates the absorption of rainwater reducing run off flash flooding. Be sure to watch the video below to learn a lot.

Bamboo Used for Home Decorating
Use Bamboo in Your Feng Shui
Today lucky bamboo is used as a feng shui cure for abundance. You can incorporate all five elements. The plant represents the wood element. You can include the other four elements by placing the bamboo in a metal vase and filling it with water, adding some stone for earth and including something red (such as the color of the vase) to add the element of fire. When you balance all five elements (water, wood, earth, fire, metal) you get wisdom. The bamboo plant is commonly used in feng shui as a remedy to attract good energy or 'chi'.I love all things Asian. See my other lenses listed below.

- I have a pair of bamboo / cotton blend yoga pants that I love -- unfortunately the company who sold them doesn't sell them anymore. My yoga studio has a few bamboo motifs -- including on our door sign, the website, and folding screens. We have a very durable bamboo cutting board at home. I like bamboo :-)
