About bamboo: Known as the fastest growing timber plant on earth, bamboo is found in abundance throughout Asia and has numerous environmental benefits. Bamboo is biodegradable, requires little attention during its growing cycle and (unlike cotton) does not require fertilizers or pesticides for a successful crop. Furthermore, bamboo produces 35% more oxygen and consumes four times the CO2 than trees. Bamboo is truly a sustainable and renewable resource; a self-replenishing “miracle plant” which grow exceedingly fast and will continue to do so through many seasonal harvests.
