Looking for an environmentally friendly way to dine? Check out bamboo utensils and cutlery! This episode showcases the many benefits of using bamboo over traditional materials like plastic or metal.

Bamboo seems to be paving the way as an eco-friendly material, it is a fast-growing and naturally renewable tree-like grass. Farming requires little maintenance as it doesn’t need pesticides or herbicides and very little water to grow. Bamboo helps stabilise the atmosphere and absorb excess carbon dioxide, which helps keep our planet healthier. It is an environmentally friendly replacement for wood and can be harvested in 3-5 years compared to around 10-20 years for most standard softwoods.
