- Bamboo is a tropical grass
with an extensive root system.
- Bamboo thrives naturally without using any pesticides and is
seldom eaten by pests or infected by pathogens.
- Doesn't need fertilizers.
- Bamboo plant is used for erosion control, watershed protection, and
soil remediation. It retains water in the watershed, reduces
runoff, sustains riverbanks and helps mitigate water pollution due to
its high nitrogen consumption.
- Fastest growing timber
plant on earth.
- Absorbs 2/3 more carbon dioxide and releases 2/3 more oxygen than
any other plant on earth. Produces super-oxygenated air and
perfectly balanced humidity. This can begin to combat global
warming.
- Bamboo can be grown on
every continent except Africa.
- Bamboo regenerates (cut one stalk and two will grow in its place)
with a short harvesting cycle.
- First plant to grow after
the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. Bamboo stabilizes the earth with
its erosion prevention and restores health of soil by sequestering
excess nitrogen.
- Scientists found a unique anti-bacteria property in Bamboo they
named "Bamboo Kun".
- Bamboo will not negatively
impact our environment.
- Bamboo retains water in the watershed, reduces runoff, sustains
riverbanks, and helps mitigate water pollution due to its high nitrogen
consumption.
- Species used for Bamboo
fabric is Phyllostachys heterocycla, commonly know as Moso Bamboo.
- Moso Bamboo is NOT the Bamboo species eaten by Pandas.
