Material for the 21st century

The world in the 21st Century faces a struggle for resources.  The population reaching 7 billion and nations in development are using more resources than ever before.  The nations that are working on development and the environment is not there concern but raising the standard of living among their poor.
No one can imagine a world without resources it sounds extremely impossible but it has happened on Easter Island.  As the island became overpopulated and deforestation the population starved. The only way we would starve today is lack of oil being unable to transport food. Bamboo is one solution to improving uses of resources for the 21st century.

Bamboo Variety a site dedicated to bamboo products.


Bamboo products are not just an exotic item to wood but a more eco-friendly product.  Bamboo is a grass plant which grows very quickly compared to a tree.  It also can be harvested as it grows without killing its growth.  Since bamboo grows fast produces more oxygen.

Items at the site are knives with blocks knives are by Ginsu.  Ginsu knives are actually recognized in the November 2011 consumer reports as a best buy with an excellent performance and price.  The actual bamboo items are the blocks which hold the knives.  No knives with wooden handles not a good choice as they are harder to clean and water isn't good with bamboo or wood. Hand washing and drying is best with bamboo handles and wooden knife handles.

One of the most interesting items on the site would probably be the computer bamboo keyboards and mouse.  How many people see a keyboard made of bamboo?  The keyboards come in various colors of red, coffee, natural color and a lot more.  You can get the mouse separate if you don't need a keyboard especially if you just have a laptop.

The website offers cutting boards from HealthSmart&trade most products are affordable in price.  The maintenance of bamboo cutting boards involves rubbing oil on it every month and washing the boards with warm water.  It's a better alternative to plastic as it is derived from oil.  The bamboo surface is a bit easier to maintain than its wooden counterpart.  From environmental stand point the bamboo again is a must in the kitchen compared to wood boards.

A nice featured product is the bamboo wine rack it is produced by Oceanstar.  It's beautifully crafted really adds to the appearance to the kitchen.  The wine rack looks especially great in the darker color and it costs a little bit more for it.

The last thing the site has is some furnishing items functional but more decorative.  The bamboo chair mat make the office space look a lot more attractive than the old mats.  These mats come in a variety of different colors versus the typical regular black.  The most traditional item used for centuries in the east the rugs made from the bamboo.  All the rugs are rectangular with various colors and sizes.  These rugs are very modern looking with a bit of the traditional look.
