Bamboo is a low-tech gift. It can be harvested and replenished with virtually no impact to the environment.

The average harvest time is 3-5 years versus 10-50 years for most softwoods and hardwoods and is capable of regeneration without need to replant.

Bamboo costs about 25% less to buy and build a bamboo prefab than a typical home, and it goes from shipping container to completion in five days.
