Bamboo can be dried, treated, molded and fashioned into virtually any shape, size or form, and stain a motley of different shades. It is less expensive to manufacture and it can be replenished quickly in nature. So why not bamboo?
If you are still not convinced, think about this. Trees can take almost sixty years to grow and mature to the appropriate size for logging. That means, if you plant a tree today, sometime in six decades, your grandchildren will be able to harvest that tree. It also means that the natural resources trees offer is being depleted quicker than we can restore them. Yet, with bamboo, it takes an average of sixty days for them to grow and mature to the appropriate size and an average of five years to be dried and treated. Think of how many crops of bamboo could be harvested, treated and sold in the time it would take to grow one tree!
With bamboo’s versatility, it can virtually eliminate the need to timber trees, which means deforestation can be reversed. We can finally leave the Amazon rainforest alone, because we have a renewal resource in plentiful amounts across the world. <a href="http://bamboopower.com/facts.html">Bamboo FAQ</a> <a href="http://bamboopower.com/articles.html">Articles on Bamboo</a> less Tags: bamboo art bamboo book bamboo tree bamboo gardens garden and bamboo how to grow bamboo bamboo products history of bamboo bamboo water bamboo sourcery bamboo trees Category: Video Blogs Views: 71 Comments: 0 Added: Oct 5, 08 By: bamboopower777 | |  |  | | Have You a Use for Bamboo? 03:44<a href="http://www.bamboopower.com">Bamboo Digital Ebook </a> http://www.bamboopower.com A hardy plant, bamboo grass can be quite daunting to deal with when planted in your backyard. more...Bamboo will grow as far and wide as you will allow it, covering most a yard in months and just about all of the sky line if you allow it.
