Pandas and Bamboo.?

At school we were talking about these shirts that are made out of bamboos.


Even though its biodegradeable and doesnt use pesticides. I can't help feeling that .. it's kinda bad for the Pandas.


One of the causes for the Giant Panda Bears to be extinct is that theres a Bamboo shortage.


Even though thats half our fault because we clear the land to make way for homes but still I just feel bad about bamboo shirts.





Am I being stupid?

Pandas and Bamboo.?
Bamboo is a renewable resource. It is actually a very fast growing grass. It is better to use bamboo products than wood products. Bamboo makes excellent hardwood floors and is a very versitile product. There are actually over 1000 different species of bamboo. Some of the species grow at over 12 inches a day!





And contrary to popular beliefe, Pandas will eat many different types of bamboo. They are losing their habitat due to human expansion, not the cultivation of their bamboo for food.
Reply:Bamboo periodically dies off and the panda has nothing to eat. It is part of the natural lifestyle of bamboo as it sets seed.
Reply:no, your a kind person. thank you
Reply:One of the good things about a natural product like bamboo is that it's a renewable resource. The bamboo used to make those t-shirts is not from old-growth bamboo forests that pandas live in, it's from cultivated farms.





A greater danger to Pandas is the description you gave above, clearing the old land to make way for new developments.
