When you rent an apartment at Satori, you'll be living in an environmentally beneficial environment from floor to ceiling. Overhead, enjoy solar and reflective paneling that helps cool your home while conserving energy. Below, tread on zero-VOC carpeting and bamboo floors. A few weeks ago, we talked about why low-VOC amenities are important to new apartment rentals. But why bamboo? Because it's the most eco-friendly material known for flooring, which is why it's also today's hottest trend in eco-conscious living.
An article by Scientific American confirms that the popularity of bamboo flooring is not just hype. Flooring made from bamboo is better for the Earth because it's easy to grow, renew and sustain in almost any climate. Unlike synthetic flooring materials, bamboo can be accrued rapidly and naturally without harming the environment. And unlike trees, bamboo can grow quickly with little water and no pesticides or fertilizers. Not only is it fast-growing (up to 20 times faster than trees) and efficient to convert into flooring, it's also stable, moisture resistant and harder than almost any wood. As an added bonus, bamboo releases 35% more oxygen into the air than a tree grove of the equivalent size. It's also an incredibly attractive option that rivals the aesthetics of expensive hardwoods.
The positive impact that bamboo utilization can make on the environment is so vital that it's not only being used to create flooring. It's also being explored as an alternative material for clothing, textiles and paper. As technology improves, the future applications of this remarkable plant are limitless. Bamboo could be, quite literally, world-changing.
The Satori rental apartment community is dedicated to researching and implementing ways for its residents to live green, with minimal impact on the planet. As a tenant, you're participating in a lifestyle you can be proud of each and every day. From top to bottom--from ceiling to floor--immerse yourself in eco-conscientious living at Satori.
