Bamboo Countertops

Why It's Good:

Bamboo is a natural choice for a kitchen counter--a surface continually in contact with food and kids.

Why It's Green:

Made from the bamboo plant, which not only grows rapidly but self-regenerates--a hugely renewable resource. These countertops are laminated with a nontoxic, food-grade, formaldehyde-free adhesive--making it a safer surface to prepare food.
