Talk about efficient use of renewable resources. Despite Thailand/Lao having miles to go before being considered "eco-friendly," when you get right down to the traditional way of life there, the culture is incredibly efficient at using natural, renewable resources for everything from building materials to cookware. The use of bamboo is especially prevalent - used for walls, roofs, floors, baskets, steamers, flatware, kitchen utensils... you name it. And it's lovely, too!
