New Drinkware
We now carry a fantastic thermos made from bamboo — a
great renewable resource for
consumer goods.
Why is Bamboo important?
• It is replenished quickly.
Bamboo can grow and
spread quickly — in some
cases three to four feet per
day — without the need for
fertilizers, pesticides or much
water.
• It’s better for the air. Bamboo
produces more oxygen and
absorbs more carbon dioxide
than trees, combating climate
change with each bamboo
shoot planted. The use of
bamboo as a building material also saves more hardwood
trees from logging.
• It helps control soil erosion
Inside your Zoo
Be sure to
research bamboo
varieties before
planting; some
may spread
quickly! To prevent
undesired spread,
install a rhizome barrier at least 15”
deep. Aluminum flashing or plastic
can work. You can view several
different varieties of bamboo at your
Zoo — tended carefully by our expert
horticulture staff.
