Why Bamboo?
GOD SAVE THE GREEN!
No longer is being green for the hippies and granolas. True to the environmental cause, one of our owners has the largest residential solar panel system in Southern California.
We know that you have to walk the walk in today’s business world by practicing what you preach at home. Otherwise – it is just another extension of greenwashing. We refuse to be a part of the cradle to grave (one way trip to the landfill) industrial system whereby companies have viewed nature as a limitless resource and continue to tirelessly abuse it.
Ultimately, we want to be a part of the Cradle to Cradle Design; closing the loop from the birth of our bamboo to where that final deck ends up. We haven’t finished the loop entirely, but we are doing our due diligence to minimize our impact on earth. Pledge to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle your brain!
Environmental impact:
It grows fast.
•Bamboo is not a tree—it’s a grass, and it grows like one. Many species of bamboo can grow two feet or more a day.
•When it’s harvested, it need not be replanted, because it will grow a new shoot from its extensive root system, often 4 to 5 new shoots.
•It renews itself readily, unlike hardwood trees, which, once cut, are gone forever. Canadian Maple trees take around 40-60 years to mature before they can be cut down. Bamboo is an endless renewable resource.
•According to the Science Channel (January 2008, Episode 7 - “Invention Nation”), skateboarding has replaced flooring as the #1 contributor to deforestation of maple trees in North America.
It enhances the environment.
•Farmed bamboo stabilizes the earth with its roots, preventing erosion.
•It takes in greenhouse gasses and produces oxygen. In fact 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees.
•It can also provide habitat for birds and animals (though our bamboo is not preferred by pandas, and is therefore panda-safe).
•In nature, bamboo filters heavy metals from groundwater and removes four times more carbon dioxide from the air than an equivalent-size stand of trees.
