Lighting is an important part of modern home décor, but if not chosen wisely, contemporary lighting can increase our carbon footprints and affect the environment adversely. Therefore, it becomes our responsibility to choose eco friendly lighting fixtures that do not harm environment and are easy to dispose when not in use or out of fashion. Bamboo with its flexibility and biodegradable properties has always been a hot trend in home lighting. Here are some of the artistic bamboo lamps that apart from enhancing your home décor also help in sustaining the environment.
