Texas Bamboo Festival worth an eco-visit

The Houston Chronicle headlined Texas' own 15th annual Bamboo Festival in their Texas Weekender section.

As most environmentalists know, bamboo is becoming the darling of the sustainable building. It is easy and fast to grow and also extremely strong, traits that can now replace hard woods as building materials and therefore replace the cutting down of old-growth forests for lumber.

It's good to see that in an oil industry state an environmentally friendly plant can be celebrated.
