What's so green about our decks?We don't claim to be green based on one specific aspect of our skateboards. Did you know?'Bamboo' does not mean 'sustainable.' The type of material you use is only a small part of the sustainability equation. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world. Under some conditions, it can grow several feet per day! This makes it a great candidate for a sustainably harvested material, but the vast majority of bamboo that you see on the market is harvested in China with poorly regulated labor practices and shipped around the world increasing our fossil fuel consumption. We need also consider the chemicals used to process the bamboo and the other materials used in conjunction with the bamboo. So, although bamboo itself is a wonderful gift to sustainability, the sustainability equation has many more variables than just material choice. |
