Skateboarding Bamboo-Style by BambooSK8
Just when you thought that aggressive furniture manufacturing is a main cause for the rapid deforestation that has been a critical factor in global warming, you may be surprised to note that stuff like skateboards are leading the pack as far as maple deforestation is concerned.
So does that mean we should ban skateboarders? Definitely not! All it takes is to find an alternative source of raw materials and apparently bamboo is it.
BambooSK8 is a true-green company that makes first rate skateboards that are durable, sustainable, and even stronger than maple.
