Change for the better starts off with small little steps. Some even as small as replacing some of your regular everyday home products to BAMBOO products that are much better for the environment over products made from trees. Some tree products that you can replace with bamboo made products are:
- Paper Towel
- Toilet Paper
- Baby Wipes
- Facial Tissues
Why Bamboo over Tree products?
- According to Bamboogrove.com Bamboo is a renewable resource. Depending on the species, bamboo can be harvested in one to five years. Hardwoods like oak take at least forty years to mature before they can be harvested.
- Absorbs greenhouse gases. Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide and releases 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than an equivalent stand of hardwood trees.
- Amazing growth rate. Some species of bamboo grow more than three feet each day! No plant on the planet features a faster growth rate. When it is harvested, it will grow a new shoot from its extensive root system with no need for additional planting or cultivation.
- Very little waste. After harvesting, virtually every part of the plant is used to make a wide variety of products. From soil-enriching mulch to beautiful furniture to chopsticks, every part of the plant can be utilized.
- Versatility. Bamboo can replace the use of wood for nearly every application. Paper, flooring, furniture, charcoal, building materials, and much more can be made from bamboo. What’s more, bamboo fibers are far stronger than wood fibers and much less likely to warp from changing atmospheric conditions.
- No fertilizer, pesticides, or herbicides needed. Unlike most cash crops (Trees, cotton), bamboo requires no agricultural chemicals to thrive.
The Switch to Caboo Bamboo Paper Towels
We switched and gave Caboo Bamboo Paper Towel a try. Caboo bamboo paper towels are tree-free household paper products are made from renewable bamboo – not trees! I make HUGE messes when I cook and having paper towel close by makes clean up a lot easier. Just like tree-made paper towel, Caboo Bamboo paper towel helps clean up all my kitchen messes! I found that it did do the trick, but the paper wasn’t as strong as other paper towel brands I had tried. Overall it gets the job done, my kitchen is clean and I feel good knowing that I’m saving trees and using a more environmentally friendly product!
