Did you know that bamboo can grow to it’s full height within 3 months and become mature within 3 years? And a grove can have its mature bamboo cut each year for up to 100 years? We cannot give most other natural resources to the worlds population without eradicating it fast. Yet Bamboo is abundant when managed well.
Certain timber species of bamboo – and there are many, are often stronger than hardwood of a 100 years. A bamboo culm (pole) only needs 3-5 years to reach its strength. There is no need to over forest our National Parks nor State Forests. If we embrace the Bamboo Culture as does half of the worlds population – we can create an industry that allows our forests to grow and prosper. Technology is already available to turn Bamboo plywood into 2.5 x stronger average plywood. Support the bamboo revolution by buying and investing in local Bamboo.
Only a few decades ago India produced more paper out of bamboo than out of wood. Now it has realised how valuable Bamboo is, fueling the industry with billions of dollars. China already uses bamboo for much of its paper pulp.
