Computer equipment made of wood is certainly nothing new, but our eco-blogger sensibilities compel us to take note whenever we find an item made of our favorite enviro-friendly casing material: bamboo.

To that end, today we offer this bamboo optical mouse in a polished natural finish, made of a hard variety that Red Ferret says is "panda-friendly." Pandas eat only soft bamboo, apparently, so they're not threatened by the harvesting of this type of vegetation.

If you stick with Crave long enough, you'll pick up all manner of trivia like this. Tomorrow: South American marsupials.
