As hi-tech brings conveniences and also pollution to the modern world, people who have a keen awareness of ecological protection are looking for green ways of living to offset the negative impact of advanced technologies.

Although bamboo keyboard is still a new thing to most computer users, it is nevertheless gaining popularity.

"We've delivered 20,000 bamboo keyboards to the wholesalers, and another 20,000 orders are awaiting delivery," said Zhang Lina, a sales manager of the Jiangqiao Bamboo and Wood Industry Co. Ltd., the sole producer of bamboo keyboard in China.

The company is in Jiangxi's Tonggu County, which enjoys abundant bamboo resources.

"We started mass producing the new product in October last year, which was mainly exported overseas," Zhang said.

"It sells well in the European and American markets, but not the domestic market for now," she said.

But, she added that the company has set up franchised stores in Shanghai and Ningbo to sell the products since the beginning of this year.

The idea of manufacturing bamboo keyboards came from a business talk the company had with an electronic company from Shenzhen in 2005, when the Shenzhen company's general manager suggested the Jiangqiao company manufacture computer boards made of bamboo, according to Feng Chun, a technician of the Jiangqiao company.
