It's a no-brainer. We must stop using single-use plastic, throw-away items that end up polluting our water systems, endangering our wildlife and seem to infiltrate every nook and corner of the planet. Bamboo products are a great alternative, and not just because they look nice. Growing bamboo <anywhere> helps the planet mitigate climate change by its inherent ability to recycle carbon dioxide at a great rate, by its ability to provide alternative wood, fuel, fiber and food, and it's potential value chain for improving economies and alleviating poverty. 

WBO sends a SHOUT OUT to Lè Xuän Hà of Thanh Hoa province, Vietnam.  He and his family grow, harvest and manufacture bamboo products as a substitute for single-use plastic. Their company, Vibabo, is doing their part in helping the planet, while improving their rural livelihood and maintaining biodiversity on their family farm. Check out their products on their Instagram account or Facebook shop!
