I recently watched an interview with Steve
Milloy about his new book Green Hell.
While I definitely didn't agree with
much of what Steve had to say, I like to keep up on both fringe
groups. The ultra tree huggers and the ultra right wing (global
warming is a hoax) are fun to watch. I know there is a middle ground
and hope to learn where it is. Anyway...
I have known for years that tobacco and
cotton are death on soil. I learned from Steve that bamboo is right
up there with tobacco and cotton.
Turns out that China has turned vast
swaths of land to producing bamboo for the western “green” market
thus depleting their precious soil to produce a fake green product.
Besides that I have talked to several
people that say bamboo is an awful product. It does not hold up.
Don't take my word. Search and you will
see.
