As an Eco material, the benefits of using bamboo are numerous. For example: bamboo is 16 percent harder than maple, it?s naturally anti-microbial; it holds the promise of a sustainable, cost effective, and ecologically responsible alternative to the widespread clear cutting of our old growth forests. It can be used in so many areas like construction, furniture, paper, clothing and food. In this post, we will show you 15 products used in our daily life which are made from bamboo. Let’s make our effort to protect our mother nature.
