Answer 2

Answer 3

Bambo is biodegradable, has antibacterial qualities, does not require the use of pesticides or fungicides to grow, grows very quickly (sustainable), and is highly absorbant... oh, and if you made *pads* out of bamboo fabric they would also be  reusable.

... much nicer for the planet, but we can already make reusable cotton fabric pads (they're called "rags" for a reason) but most of us don't... it's much easier to trash 'em I s'ppose.

Forest waste... as in leaves, underbrush, fallen trees?  I don't know that they would make the best tampons, unless you like twigs sticking out of your vuh-jay-jay... and I think there are already tampons made out of recycled paper, they're just not so easy to find everywhere.
