Bamboo flooring

Bamboo is not a wood, it is a grass. Unlike a tree which can take decades to grow to maturity, bamboo is ready to harvest within 4 to 5 years. If bamboo shoots are not harvested when mature, they will fall over and disable future growth. The fast growth allows for controlled harvesting of a resource that would otherwise go to waste. This sharply contrasts the devastation that conventional logging currently has on our forests.
