Low Impact Bamboo Shades
You hear a lot of talk about global warming and environmental degradation, but if we don't make changes in the way we live, we aren't walking the walk. Of course, we should cut gas consumption by reducing driving. We can decrease our fuel consumption by driving slower. If we can get a good percentage of the people to make just one of the easy changes in their lives and homes, it will have a large effect on the planet. Our houses use tons of energy. If we can decrease the amount of energy that we use, we can cut down on our impact on the earth. Choosing bamboo shades is one of the small important changes you can make. While many types of blinds can offer some of these features, only natural bamboo shades can do it all while still remaining within your budget.
Consider the many things one can do to improve the environment. The most common are the three Rs, which are to reduce, reuse and recycle. Well, when it comes to window treatments, there is a lot more one can do. Using rapidly renewable resources, doing more to insulate form the elements, and allowing the use of natural light as well as providing privacy are all steps that one can do to have better ecofriendliness. A low impact, or footprint, will result from this effort, and all will be pleased that the result is beautiful and practical as well.
Bamboo shades can lower your energy bills, by blocking sunlight and thus reducing the amount of energy you need to cool your home. It's common for people to use some manner of electricity to cool their homes in the hot summer time. When bamboo shades block sunlight, they are able to block both light and heat. Bamboo shades can filter out all of the light while basic open shades block anywhere from a quarter to nine tenths. The more heat you block, the less you need to spend to cool your house. All this can be accomplished by using shades of woven wood. Also when you block light and heat, you actually extend the life of your furnishings.
Whenever you want to change your clothes, the first step is to close the blinds so that you're not naked in front of the windows. Next, most people turn on the lights, using electricity. Bamboo shades provide privacy without blocking all the natural light, saving on the electric bill. Unlined bamboo shades allow some natural light to enter into a room. They provide privacy for the home, and save on energy costs by filtering out some of the unwanted light.
The last to think about is what happens to bamboo shades when it's time for new blinds. The shades are almost 100% biodegradable. You will have the peace of mind of knowing that your blinds will not pile up in a landfill when they are discarded, as the bamboo and threads that make up the shades decompose very quickly. The metal and plastic parts that do not decompose are relatively small. Bamboo shades are biodegradable, converting to environmentally friendly waste. Instead of a bunch of plastic that will last for thousands of years, choose natural bamboo shades because they are biodegradable.
Choosing the right shades is one component of a plan to make our homes more energy efficient. Bamboo shades do a great job. Shades made of woven wood can block part of the sunlight and provide you with privacy. You can recycle bamboo shades. Bamboo shades are excellent at providing light control so cooling bills may be controlled. All in all, it's a great environmental choice to use shades made of bamboo.

I dunno if my hardwood floor is rotting?...What do I do about these pinhead-sized black spot/clusters on floor?
It looks like they're surrounded by areas that have become discolored, almost like they're perpetually wet, like the light wood floor is now a shade of damp brown color. This is kinda around the edges of the wood where they're adjacent to the other hardwood plank.
I live in an apartment. Is this serious enough of an issue to call the manager/facilities staff to replace the hardwood floor, or at least take a look at it?
I hope it's not fungal spores, and that I could become sick from it. It's right near my dining room table.
Oh, and these black spotty spore-things appeared on the stalks of my potted bamboo plant a few months ago. So I threw it out. It was gross. I didn't know what it was, but they had appeared.
Water can seep in from just about anywhere, especially when you are in an apartment.
It definitely sounds like you have a mold issue and the landlord is required by law to fix it.
Mold can be a serious health problem so don't delay. Call the landlord ASAP. If they can't get this repaired pretty quick, ask to be moved to a different apartment in the same complex. This is actually your best option since apartment complexes rarely do a great job cleaning this up.
The local health dept can come check the air quality both before and after the cleaning is done to help make sure they got everything. If you end up staying there, ask for a follow up air quality check in about 30 to 90 days just to make sure. By the time you see the mold, you have already been breathing it for quite some time.
