Ecologically friendly homeowners can choose bamboo shades for their window treatments and know that they are using a renewable resource that is earth friendly. Bamboo shades are a great choice when you want a refreshing change from modern materials. Bamboo combines all the elements of traditional and ultra modern, with a tropical flair.
The bamboo plants grow rapidly, even 4 to 5 feet per month, therefore they grow in very tall forests, and they are biodegradable. There are no contaminants added, and bamboo shades are processed in low emissions factories, so they are truly a “green” product. Add to that benefit their good looks, and they are a winner all around!

Our planet is not replaceable.
As obvious as that statement is, people still treat Earth like there is another one on the back burner. The ocean levels are rising, the ice caps are melting and our ozone layer is disintegrating; we’ve left more of a carbon footprint in the last hundred years than the rest of history combined! The good news, however, is that the word “green” is becoming more ingrained in our social consciousness.
Thanks to environmental activists and supporters, the word “green” has taken on a whole new definition. Any attitude concerning “global environmental protection, bioregionalism, social responsibility” is considered green. The term has become a buzzword of sorts; restaurants, business, and manufacturers brandish the label to appeal to our ever-concerned society.

Ecologically minded homeowners can use roller shades as part of their living green lifestyle. A natural, eco-friendly lifestyle includes enjoyment of the outdoors, so these homeowners want window treatments that serve a double purpose. They want to enjoy their outdoor vistas, and at the same time use items in the home that are ecologically friendly and energy conserving. This is where roller shades can fit right into the environmental plan.
Window treatments, available in a great many styles, including those we are discussing here, can help control light and heat from entering or exiting a room. There are three main types of environmentally friendly blackout or sleep window shades, light filtering roller shades, and solar window shades. These can be functional or decorative, or both.
