The Woody Bamboo flash drive is an interesting green alternative to your standard plastic storage device. It’s the perfect choice for someone looking to “go green” in every aspect of their life.
This wood-encased flash drive comes in all sorts of storage capacities from 128MB up to 8GB. Of course, the inner workings of the drive is not made of bamboo, but the outside casing is. Plus, the carrying strap is made from hemp and can be worn around the neck.
And if you’re feeling fancy, you can get a storage box for the flash drive, also made from bamboo. But that sounds a bit excessive to me. Isn’t the point of going green to use the least amount of resources as possible? At any rate, at this moment you can only buy the Woody Bamboo drive in large quantities. However, it might be a good company choice, given that you can have a logo stamped onto them.Â

How is cutting down trees to make thumb drives “green”?

This is a sleek USB flash drive they offer there, and I also like the box a lot, even though it might be better ecologically without it, but such a nice little box you can always use it for other things later on, it’s not like you’d throw this box away like you would with some paperbox or plastic box now is it.
A nice one, any change I can get my hands on one of these?

You aren’t “cutting down trees” Hagrun. Think before you type. Its BAMBOO which regrows back to size within 3 months of cutting, making it truly sustainable.
