You know of what you speak. Also, as with any building product, green or not-so-green, what is its track record in installations?? Just because it is a sustainable option doesn't provide instant credibilty. Will it be replaced in 3 years? At what cost to the owner? Bamboo flooring may be called a sustainable product, but much of it is harvested and shipped with little regard to fuel expense. It's also a poor substitute for the tried-true maple or oak floors so readily available in the country. I would be willing to speak more about this topic with you at any point in time...
