Bamboo has been cultivated for more than 4,000 years in China. It has been
used in everyday life in Asia for centuries. Bamboo is a food, a “paper like”
medium for messaging, for art works, utensils, furniture, vessels, decoration
and more recently as building materials including, flooring, veneer and
paneling, decoration as in moldings and wall coverings and pallets and
shipping crates.

According to David Farrelly in his book, “The Book of Bamboo”:

• A typical bamboo has a tensile strength of 28,000 per square inch compared
to 23,000 for steel.

• In late 19th Century Europe, bicycle frames typically were made of bamboo.

• Bamboo survived the Hiroshima atomic blast closer to ground zero than any
other life form.

• In 1882, Thomas Edison used bamboo filaments in the world’s first light bulb
manufacturing.

• The needle in Alexander Graham Bell’s first phonograph was made of bamboo.

China has more than 1.6 million square miles of bamboo under cultivation and
is considered a great natural resource. This grass grows to 40 feet and it is
a major CO2 converter and has no known enemies. Even man cannot – so far at
least – get ahead of the bamboo forests’ growth cycle.

Bamboo is...

…the fastest growing wood type plant on this planet. It grows one third faster
than the fastest growing tree. Some species can grow up to 1 meter per day.
One can almost "watch it grow". This growth pattern makes it easily accessible
in a minimal amount of time. Size ranges from miniatures to towering culms of
60 meters.

…a critical element in the balance of oxygen/carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Bamboo is the fastest growing canopy for the re-greening of degraded areas and
generates more oxygen than equivalent stand of trees. It lowers light
intensity and protects against ultraviolet rays and is an atmospheric and soil
purifier.

…a viable replacement for wood. Bamboo is one of the strongest building
materials. In the tropics is it possible to plant and grow your own bamboo
home. In a plot 20m x 20m, in the course of 5 years, two 8m x 8m homes can be
constructed from the harvest. Every year after that the yield is one
additional house per plot.

…versatile with a short growth cycle. There are over 1000 species of bamboo on
the earth. The diversity makes bamboo adaptable to many environments. It can
be harvested in 3-5 years versus 10-20 years for most softwoods. Bamboo
tolerates extremes of precipitation, from 30-250 inches of annual rainfall.

…a critical element of the economy. Bamboo and its related industries already
provide income, food and housing to over 2.2 billion people worldwide. There
is a 3-5 year return on investment for a new bamboo plantation versus 8-10
years for rattan. Governments such as India, China and Burma with 19,800,000
hectares of bamboo reserves collectively, have begun to focus attention on the
economic factors of bamboo production.

…an essential structural material in earthquake architecture. In Limon, Costa
Rica, only the bamboo houses from the National Bamboo Project stood after
their violent earthquake in 1992.

…a renewable resource for agroforestry products. Bamboo is a high-yield
renewable natural resource: ply bamboo is now being used for wall paneling,
floor tiles; bamboo pulp, for paper making, briquettes for fuel, raw material
for housing construction, and rebar for reinforced concrete beams.

…a soil conservation tool. Bamboo is exquisite component of landscape design.
It's anti-erosion properties create an effective watershed, stitching the soil
together along fragile river banks, deforested areas, and in places prone to
earthquakes and mud slides. The sum of stem flow rate and canopy intercept of
bamboo is 25% which means that bamboo greatly reduces rain run-off, preventing
massive soil erosion.

…an ancient medicine. Bamboo has for centuries been used in Ayurveda and
Chinese acupuncture. The powdered hardened secretion from bamboo is used
internally to treat asthma, coughs and can be used as an aphrodisiac. In
China, ingredients from the root of the black bamboo help treat kidney
disease. Roots and leaves have also been used to treat venereal disease and
cancer. Sap is said to reduce fever and ash will cure prickly heat. Current
research point to bamboo's potential in a number of medicinal uses.

…integrally involved in culture and the arts. Bamboo is a mystical plant as a
symbol of strength, flexibility, tenacity, endurance and compromise.
Throughout Asia, bamboo has for centuries been integral to religions
ceremonies, art, music and daily life. It is the paper, the brush and the
inspiration of poems and paintings. Among the earliest historical records, 2nd
century B.C. were written on green bamboo strips strung together in a bundle
with silk thread. Instruments made of bamboo create unique resonance.

…a food source: Bamboo shoots provide nutrition for million of people
worldwide. In Japan, the antioxidant properties of pulverized bamboo bark
prevents bacterial growth and its used a natural food preservative. Taiwan
alone consumes 80,000 tons of bamboo shoots annually constituting at $50
million industry.

…a landscape design element. Bamboo is an exquisite component of landscape
design. For the human environment, bamboo provides shade, wind break,

acoustical barriers and aesthetic beauty.
