The concept that spawned Cali Bamboo was simple: Create a business that can make a difference. After traveling together on a year-long surf expedition Jeff Goldberg and Tanner Haigwood started to ponder life pre-climate change and excessive pollution. Their musings led to the creation of Cali Bamboo, a San Diego-based company whose main purpose is to promote the use of bamboo for use in everyday products. That's why they sell only goods that are sustainable and have minimal impact on the environment.

Jeff and Tanner chose bamboo due to its strength, durability and fast regeneration. And now that the warm months of summer are finally upon us, Cali Bamboo's line of bamboo fencing and lumber give you the perfect excuse to redo your deck or finally erect a fence to keep your neighbor's dog away from your compost pile. There is a generous range of wood colors and sizes to choose from and three collections of flooring available, one of which is organic.

Cali Bamboo doesn't stop at sustainable flooring and fences. You can shade your windows with bamboo blinds sold by the company, or cover your new bamboo hardwoods with a bamboo rug (do you think guests will pick up on a sort of running theme?). If you're feeling really adventurous and have always wondered what it would be likely to live a completely eco-friendly lifestyle, pick up some of the palm thatching for a roof and build yourself a bamboo hut to live in.

The company even donates on per cent of its product sales is given to various environmental groups, such as Surfrider and Rainforest Relief. And the best part is, you don't even have to live in California to take advantage of these renewable resources; products can be ordered online at Cali Bamboo's website or by phone, and a quote for your project can be requested.
