For millennia, bamboo has been used for everything from food to bridge building.
Whether you want to be cultivating bamboo for CO² offset, or use bamboo for any one of the hundreds of different existing applications ranging from manufacture of bamboo furniture, bamboo toothbrushes, bamboo paper, bamboo fabric etc, this giant grass species is the logical environmentally conscious material of choice for the future.
Bamboo is even proving able to process heavy metals from the soil (phytoremediation) and regenerate the barren earth when used with permaculture principles.
