Really people?
First of all, before even getting into the green thing, Cyn... bamboo can be just as beautiful as any hardwood, and conversely I've seen really shitty oak, maple, walnut and pine. And it IS far more plentiful and replenishable.
As for green, there are a lot of green measures that makes sense right up front. Such as rechargeable batteries. Saves you $$$, prevents nasty batteries from going into the ground. How is there a loss there? Most newer NiMH don't have 'memory' issues, and Li-ion are great. Both can easily get 1800+ wH.
Saving water? If nothing else it's a good financial move. Assuming the restaurant pays a water bill, saving a few hundred gallons of undrunk water a month seems like a smart plan, plus it involves the washing of less glassware, which as mentioned above is horrid either way, right? Dishwashers suck, washing by hand sucks... so let's do less of either.
Sometimes being 'green' just means using common sense and being fiscally smart with your pocketbook. It's not hard to read underneath the noise.
