Plant. It's just like grass, but different.

A tree is a plant. As is bamboo.

This is almost as dumb as the time my friend asked me if coconut milk is 'real milk'...

 

[Freshgeardude]

but isnt a tree a plant, so essentially they are still cutting down plant life anyways

Who cares... bamboo shoots are delicious.

Bamboo is grass. And it grows ridiculously fast. So its not a big deal to chop some down and grow some more to replace it.

this. and not only is it a more viable alternative to wood harvested from trees, is simply better for certain uses, such as cutting boards and cooking-related accessories, as Bamboo sheds water. Helps keep down bacteria and better for storing knives that aren't made of SS.

That's because you can use it for flooring. It's actually a really nice alternative, very strong, nice pattern, and comes in a bunch of different colors.

anything <10lbs of plant matter in bulk should = tree IMHO

So? If you use bamboo, you save one of those slow growing trees. Bamboo grows quickly...
