Bamboo has a unique name yet it’s not uncommon to see it put to use. Once hardly used to its full potential, today bamboo serves a variety of purposes. It’s a material with a funny name but there’s nothing to laugh about a multipurpose resource that is safe for the environment. Here’s what bamboo can do.
Cabinets
An entire kitchen cabinetry can be crafted from bamboo. It’s widely used because it’s pliable, durable, environmentally friendly, and fairly priced. If bamboo’s natural color does not appeal to you, consider dying cabinets to match your preference.
Animal Toys
Animal toys need be safe in different ways than those for children. Yes, children will put things in their mouths but dogs and cats will chew on things and could potentially ingest harmful material. More toys are being made with bamboo because it’s highly durable and completely safe for Fido and Mittens.
Umbrellas
Look chic while being practical with an ornate bamboo umbrella. It’s fashionable and good to use to keep rain off your head and harmful sun rays away from your skin. You could get an ordinary umbrella of cheap metal and some sort of thin tarp material or ward off the weather in style whilst thinking of the environment.

More people are opting for hardwood flooring. It’s easy to clean and helpful for those who have pets or allergies. However, hardwood floors are expensive, especially if you have a lot of space to cover. But, bamboo is an alternative that is cheap, looks great, and is offered in an array of colors.
Bedding
Do you want a great gift idea for yourself and close friends and family members? Get bamboo bedding. As mentioned, it’s gentle enough for a baby’s skin, breathable, and antimicrobial; though spun into thread, bamboo maintains its antimicrobial properties which means it’s more difficult for bacteria to thrive.

Bikes
Bamboo is highly durable, light, and can be molded into different shapes which makes it a great resource for making bicycles. Those who are socially and environmentally conscious look for purchase alternatives. Rather than a bike that could have been manufactured at a plant that produces harmful materials, one purchasing a bamboo bike knows they are making a socially responsible decision.
