Green Applications; BAMBOO
This tall, woody, weedy plant, which grows best in tropical climates, is making waves for its versatility, sustainability and strength.
What makes bamboo so great? Well, it's one of the fastest-growing plant on Earth; some species can grow 1.5m a day according to the Environmental Bamboo Foundation (). It releases 35% more oxygen
than equivalent forests of trees and it can be harvested in about three years, compared with 10 to 20 years for most softwood trees. Some bamboo even absorbs up to 12 tons of CO2 from
the air per hectare.
Bamboo requires few, if any, pesticides and it is also hardy using anywhere from about 75 to 635 cm (30 to 250 in.) of annual rainfall.
It\'s versatile, too. In the past few years, bamboo has been used in the manufacture of toys, flooring, cutting boards, kitchen utensils, counter tops, and yes, window shades.
