We never thought you'd see these words on TreeHugger: check out this killer shag rug. Made by the Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co., the shagadelic rugs are 80% bamboo, 20% cotton. Despite the retro moniker, the rugs have a decidedly modern feel, and the shagginess gives it almost a faux-animal-skin-rug feel. Adding the bamboo is a nice touch; the same anti-microbial, anti-bacterial properties that benefit bamboo apparel are at work here, making it soft to the touch and a good option for floorcoverings. While we know that all bamboo is not created equal, it beats a lot of conventional alternatives. Plus, we just like that it's a shag rug that doesn't suck. ::Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co. via ::MoCo Loco
