Essential College Dorm Room Items Crafted From Bamboo

By Bamboo Grove on August 17, 2021

It is an unfortunate truth that sometimes it takes a serious shock to the system to realize what is truly meaningful in the world and in our lives. After most of the citizens in the United States were forced to lock themselves down and quarantine in place due to COVID-19, many people had a lot of time on their hands to sit back, bake bread, and take stock of their lives. And while we have yet to escape the grasp of this far-reaching deadly disease, the main thing that most of us can agree upon is that our families are the most important people in our lives and we should probably start paying better attention to the planet we’re living on and leaving behind for them.

As the entire world continues to navigate through the challenges and choppy waters of the ongoing battle against the coronavirus and its various variants, parents are cautiously purchasing back-to-school supplies while biting their nails in the hopes that their students will finally be able to return to their classrooms and college dorms this fall. After years of consumer pushback on big box store manufacturers for not providing a better selection of environmentally-conscious or ‘green’ options in the school supply/return-to-learn sector, bamboo products are making a more dominant appearance on store shelves this year as the dynamically diverse solution to some of our eco-friendly problems.

Those small, yet impactful moves from these larger corporations are a much-needed and welcomed change if you ask us here at Bamboo Grove, so while you’re looking over the school supply shopping list, consider making a few eco-friendly swaps to some of the standard dorm room items as well. A few of the most popular and affordable items include:

• Bamboo sheets, bedding, and bath towels
• Bamboo bookshelves, writing desks, and room dividers
• Bamboo chairs, tables, and kitchen utensils
• Bamboo lamps, picture frames, and miscellaneous décor to warm the place up

At Bamboo Grove, it is our mission to continuously educate the community about the multiple benefits of bamboo and how this durable, sustainable, and versatile crop is completely capable of combating the devastating elements of climate change and global warming.
