Hello Steemians! :)

We all know that resources on our planet are limited and consumption is processing too fast. Overpopulation is not the biggest problem. More important is that people use resources irresponsibly. Tones of good food are thrown away, despite the poverty in the world. People also use more and more energy. There is less and less drinking water on Earth. Deforestation is the next huge problem. In this post, I will show you why Bamboo can be a good solution for biggest problems of the entire population.

The incredible fact is that bamboo is growing similar to grass, and can be used everywhere where trees are used. Next important thing is that bamboo reaches full size after four years and after harvesting can reach full size in only one year. And then regrow every year to full size! Trees do not grow back after harvesting. So people should consider to use a bamboo wherever they used the trees.

Coming to you from your fb post. Followed but I am out of steem power for voting now :(

I'm in Bangkok and they use bamboo to make scaffolding often. It is very amazing to see it on the outside of buildings as they are being built. Bamboo furniture is very common. It's a lot different than what I saw in the US where everything is fake now.

I hope bamboo will be more and more popular material, for building, furniture and other industries. Thanks for comment :)

You're welcome. Very interesting post :)

Wow! I didn't know all this. Thanks for sharing the info. Greetings from Venezuela (we have a lot of wasted bamboo)
