How bamboo is changing the world？

Bamboo has been used by humans for centuries. It is widely regarded as a magical plant in the tropical climate in which it grows. It can be used in construction, manufacturing, decoration, as a food source, the list goes on. It's an amazing thing that bamboo is becoming one of the most popular eco-friendly manufacturing materials in the world. It is generally as strong as plastic and offers many benefits that plastic cannot. If you're still not convinced that bamboo is more than a passing trend, here are five ways bamboo is truly changing the world.

#1 – It is the fastest growing plant on earth

This is no exaggeration! Bamboo really is the fastest growing plant on earth and Guinness World Records confirms it! Certain species of bamboo can grow 35 inches in one day at 0.00002 miles per hour! That's more than an inch per hour, which means you can technically watch it grow with the naked eye. Because it grows so fast, bamboo is also one of the most sustainable plants on the planet, and it's an excellent solution to widespread deforestation on the planet today.

#2 – Natural Air Filter

Research on bamboo underutilization in Nigeria shows that bamboo removes more carbon dioxide from the air than most other plants, so it produces 35% more oxygen. Takeda acts as a natural air filter to make the environment around us safer and more comfortable. The more bamboo we grow around the world, the cleaner our air will be.

#3 – It can store a lot of water

Bamboo is an amazing plant because it can store a lot of water in its stems and roots. A camel consumes about 20 gallons of water in one drink, and once full, it can go days without water. Bamboo plants can be said to be the camel of the plant family. It can absorb a lot of water during rains and then release it back into the ground during droughts. That's why bamboo is one of the toughest plants in the world today. It self-regulates its moisture content, which makes it relatively easy to grow.

#4 – Bamboo protects and cleans soil

Bamboo is known for its strong roots and rhizomes (stems that grow underground). Even if the entire bamboo is destroyed by fire, wind or hail, a single bamboo rhizome can easily survive for a century or more. In fact, bamboo rhizomes are so strong that many parts of the world grow bamboo in areas with severe soil erosion. The rhizome clings tightly to the soil, which makes it less likely to be washed away in heavy rain or floods.

#5 – It supports the local community

Bamboo is good for the planet, but protecting the environment also means protecting the people who live in it. Bamboo production continues to support farmers in North America and around the world. Bamboo can grow almost anywhere and can survive winter weather as low as -20 degrees Fahrenheit. In China, Uganda and even some parts of the developing world, the bamboo industry has boosted growth and lifted households out of poverty.
