Bamboo is the fastest growing plant. It produces greater biomass and 30% more oxygen than a hardwood forest on the same area, while improving watersheds, preventing erosion, restoring soil, providing sweet edible shoots and removing toxins from contaminated soil. Bamboo produces structural beams, flooring, wall paneling, fencing and many more sustainable by-products of environmental restoration.
Bamboo generates 30% more oxygen than trees. It helps reduce carbon dioxide gases blamed for global warming. Some bamboo sequesters up to 12 tons of carbon dioxide per hectare, which makes it an efficient replenisher of fresh air.
Bamboo is a natural water control barrier. Because of its wide spread root system and large canopy, bamboo greatly reduces rain run off, prevents massive soil erosion and keeps twice as much water in the watershed. Bamboo helps mitigate water pollution due to its high nitrogen consumption, making it a solution for excess nutrient uptake of waste water from manufacturing, livestock farming and sewage treatment.
Bamboo is the biggest type of GRASS. You can confirm this by looking at the leaves, which are long and spear-shaped—typical of grasses. Bamboo differs in forming a woody stem, and of course, growing much bigger than any usual kind of grass.
In Asia, bamboo is put to wide range of uses, maybe more than any other plant. Bamboo shoots are good to eat, for humans as well as pandas! But besides food, bamboo is used for paper, furniture, flooring and construction, for fuel, to make chopsticks, needles, and weapons.

Environmental Friendly Finishes
Solid hardwood floors finished with a waterborne finish are much better
for chemically-sensitive people than carpet or vinyl floor coverings.

TODAYS WOOD FLOORING TIP.......
CARING FOR YOUR WOOD FLOORS....
Please don't wax your wood floors! Once they are waxed we may not be able to recoat them
for you. You want to be able to "lightly" sand and coat your wood floors before a holiday
or special occasion. It only takes a few hours to do and it will remove surface scratches.
You will have a beautiful new shine as well!
Also, try not to drag any furniture on your wood floors. You can buy some felt pads
and place them on the bottom of your chairs to protect your wood flooring.
Take a very light damp mop with water and clean them. Protect your investment!
