Organized Bamboo
The dreaded "drop zone".  Every house has one and it usually lives up to it's name.  Everything literally gets dropped there.  Just because we all like to unload our stuff when we walk in the door, doesn't mean that it has to be a complete mess.  There are a large number of ways to clean up the drop zone and customize it to meet your needs and your taste.  One beautiful, durable and sustainable way to organize your clutter is bamboo storage accessories.  They provide an elegant feel and come in a variety of choices.  

What Makes It Green?
Bamboo is remarkable.  It's the most environmentally sound plant in the world. Not a wood but a grass, bamboo regenerates quickly - for some varieties, as much as 3-4 feet every day.  Growing over 30% faster than the fastest growing tree, it is the fastest growing plant on earth.  

Due to the inter-connected root system, bamboo groves fully regenerate faster than timber without the need for replanting.  The bamboo plant's stalks can grow to be up to 50 feet high and several inches thick.      

Bamboo plants are also good for the planet because they can grow without pesticides and fertilizers even in poor or overgrazed soil.  They actually feed the topsoil over time because of the amount of "litter" that falls from the plants.

Bamboo can be harvested with almost no impact on the environment.  It re-grows fully in only 3 - 5 years and produces 25% more yield than timber.

I love my Bamboo 2 Pod phone docking station from KangaroomStorage.  It's looks neat and tidy on my kitchen counter - no unsightly and tangled up cords.  It also let's us keep our phones in easy reach while they're recharging.  Get your own at www.kangaroomStorage.com.
