Environmental Impact
Today, almost 1 million acres of forest vanish per week. This alarming rate of deforestation has forced many world economies to rethink their business and manufacturing practices. A sixty-foot tree cut for market takes approximately 60 years to replace. Meanwhile, a sixty foot bamboo cut for market takes 59 days to replace. Bamboo is officially recognized as the world's fastest growing plant and has a tensile strength comparable to steel.
Bamboo is known to produce greater biomass and 30% more oxygen than a hardwood forest of comparable size, while improving watersheds, preventing erosion, restoring soil, providing sweet edible shoots and removing toxins from contaminated soil. Ecologists tout bamboo as a renewable source of food and building material. Many promote bamboo planting for erosion prevention, and even to reverse the effects of global warming. All parts of the bamboo plant are utilized to produce a multitude of products.
