USE BAMBOO FOR A BETTER FUTURE

1. RENEWABLE RESOURCE - Depending on the species, bamboo can be harvested in one to five years.
2. AMAZING GROWTH RATE - Some species of bamboo grow more than three feet each day!
3. VERY LITTLE WASTE - After harvesting, virtually every part of the plant is used to make a wide variety of products.
4. VERSATILITY - Bamboo can replace the use of wood for nearly every application.
5. NO FERTILIZER, PESTICIDES, OR HERBICIDES NEEDED - Unlike most cash crops, bamboo requires no agricultural chemicals to thrive. Unlike cotton, which is one of the most intensely sprayed crops in the world and rapidly depletes the nutrients in the soil, bamboo sequesters nitrogen and cultivation does not add chemicals to the environment.
6. SOIL PROTECTION - Bamboo roots remain in place after harvesting where they prevent erosion and help retain nutrients for the next crop.
7. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - In less developed countries where unemployment leads to civil unrest, bamboo production and the manufacturing of bamboo products provides job opportunities in areas that desperately need social and economic stability.
8. BAMBOO GROWS IN A VARIETY OF CONDITIONS -Bamboo can grow in arid regions where droughts cause other crops to fail and since the roots are left in place after harvesting, it helps to preserve vital moisture in the soil.
9. OPTIMISM AND CULTURAL COOPERATION - In a fractious world where wars are fought over resources, the increasing popularity of bamboo products provides an opportunity for diverse cultures to settle their difference through trade and cooperation that benefits everyone.
