Bamboo Water Bottles
Bamboo captures more carbon dioxide and releases 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere when compared to a similarly sized stand of hardwood trees.
Because bamboo is such a naturally prolific plant, it does not require the use of chemicals and fertilizers in order to cultivate it.This ensures that chemicals will not find their way into the soil and groundwater as a result of bamboo farming.
Bamboo is more resistant to rot and warping due to moisture as compared to most other woods. You will still need to take care of the bamboo products you own, but you are starting with a better material. Bamboo is also naturally UV resistant. This makes it great for products all the way from flooring to clothing.
Bamboo does not require much water to grow. Although bamboo is willing to grow in wetland conditions, it can also be grown in places where other plants would require supplemental watering to survive. Fresh water is a valuable resource on our planet, and bamboo is not a needy plant when it comes to water consumption.
Some species of bamboo can grow as much as three feet per day. While most bamboo plants reach maturity in three or four years, a hardwood tree can take 30 to 50 years to reach a harvestable age. Since our demand for quality products does not seem to be slowing down, why not meet that demand with a resource that can keep up? The fast growth rate of bamboo equals sustainability.
When bamboo is harvested, each culm is simply cut at ground level. The root system remains in the ground and quickly sprouts more bamboo shoots. The root system that remains in the ground between harvestings helps the soil to resist erosion. In some places, bamboo is planted along riverbanks to prevent soil erosion. Bamboo also drops leaves and stems onto the ground where it is growing. This natural litter turns to mulch and acts as a fertilizer. In the event that a bamboo product is discarded, it is nice to know that items made from bamboo are 100% biodegradable.
