Our house made of just bamboo!
Bamboo is a tribe of flowering perennial evergreen plants in the grass family Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Giant bamboos are the largest members of the grass family.
Bamboo Is Great For The Environment
Bamboo Absorbs Carbon Dioxide - Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide and releases over 30% more oxygen into the atmosphere compared to an equivalent mass of trees.
This makes bamboo excellent for absorbing greenhouse gases and producing clean, fresh oxygen. We can all use a lot more of that.
Bamboo Grows Fast – Amazingly fast that is … Some species of bamboo are clocked at growing over 3' (90cm) in height in a day! That's over 1.5" (3.8cm) in one hour!! No other plant on earth can do this. Watch a 24hr time lapse video.
Bamboo can reach full maturity in 1 to 5 years (dependent on species). Hardwood trees can take 30 to 40 years. It is the only woody plant that can keep up with the rate of human consumption and deforestation.
Bamboo does not burn...
