PLASTIC, which is petroleum based (sure if you prefer we just keep pumpung this black sludge from this earth forever) and involves loads of energy to process, not to mention all the waste, and recovery (afteruse).

For one thing, bamboo is a very renewable resource. I don’t see what’s so stupid about it. For one thing, bamboo is a very renewable resource.

Cutting down plants - which convert CO2 into oxygen - as a way to be "green" and prevent man-made global warming, doesn't make any sense. And beyond that, the machinery used on a massive scale to cut down the bamboo for Mitsubishi probably creates far more pollution than is canceled out by putting overgrown grass in a car door. Mitsubishi needs to focus on building competitive cars again for the mass market. Alright this is downright stupid.
