Engineering360: "Ford to Use More and More Bamboo in Its Cars"

Interesting. Fastest growing grass in the world. requires no pesticides, irrigation or fertilizers.

Ford could also look at lyocell fiber (Eucalyptus), hemp fiber, organic cotton textiles for headliners and other areas where traditional polyester or other synthetic fiber textiles are used.

Not much of the bamboo today is being grown in sustainable farms, so from an environmental impact hopefully that is part of the project for Ford.
