Chop on a bamboo board (08/11/08)

As an alternative to buying a chopping board made from tropical hardwood, look for one made from bamboo.  This fast-growing, sustainable, and versatile material is extremely durable and naturally antibacterial, withstands regular washing, and is a beautiful detail for your kitchen.  (Joanna Yarrow)
