Bamboo Tree: Renewable Energy Source and So Much More<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

21 Dec 2020 – <\/em>Long time ago, some significant changes in temperatures, air quality, and the quality of life on Earth in general were discovered.Over the centuries, people had enormous effect on the planet,and the results are not good.<\/p>\n

\n

Pollution and global warming are just some of the problems that have occurred that have to be stopped immediately, or at least reduced. As people are trying to be more eco-friendly<\/a> and save our planet from destruction, they started using different materials for clothing, furniture, heating,and one of the most popular plants used for these purposes is bamboo.If you wonder how come bamboo is so eco-friendly and in which ways you can use it to contribute to the \u201cgreen movement\u201d, here you can read more about it.<\/p>\n

Why Bamboo?<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

Many people associate bamboo with panda food, and believe that it only grows in China. However,there are many types of bamboo that grow all over the world. The special thing about bamboo is that it\u00a0can be used instead of wood, because it grows ten times faster, matures faster and therefore causes less\u00a0damage to the environment.<\/p>\n

Cutting bamboo<\/span><\/h2>\n

instead of trees<\/a> will stop deforestation that over the years\u00a0led to damaging the air quality. Another thing is that bamboo does not require pesticides and fertilizers\u00a0to contribute to its growth, and the soil is not destroyed by its cultivation. Most importantly, it is a\u00a0biodegradable material, so if you do have something made of it that you need to throw away, it will\u00a0decompose much faster and will not cause much harm to the Earth.<\/p>\n

Alternative Energy Source<\/span><\/h2>\n

Because of it biological and chemical composition, some species of bamboo like Gimsung and Tong have been harvested and used for generating electricity in Thailand. It also has a good CO2 absorption, which means two things: it contributes to the greater oxygen production and it is used to produce clean energy in biomass power plants. Finally, for some tribes in Africa, people use bamboo for cooking instead of firewood.<\/p>\n

Clothes<\/span><\/h2>\n

Lately, famous designers, and fashion industry in general, have tried to be more green by using more\u00a0eco-friendly material. First of all, they have incorporated organic cotton, and avoid using leather and fur\u00a0in their collections. Another novelty is bamboo clothing, that as its name indicates refers to the clothing\u00a0items which fabric has been made out of bamboo.<\/p>\n

From underwear, shirts, towels to accessorizes,\u00a0thanks to its versatility, this plant has worked its way up the fashion ladder quite quickly. The fact that it\u00a0is as soft as cashmere, that it is antibacterial, antifungal and odor resistant made it one of the most\u00a0popular fabrics nowadays.<\/p>\n

Furniture<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bamboo has also become popular in furniture production and as a flooring material, as it is resistant to\u00a0termites and other annoying pests. From tables, chairs, wardrobes and cabinets, bamboo can be\u00a0incorporated in your whole household<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another interesting fact about bamboo is that, even though it has a hollow structure, it is stronger than steel and that is why it can be used it in construction for support.\u00a0Probably not many people realize all the advantages of the bamboo, so you need to be the one to\u00a0incorporate it in your daily life, spread the word and save the planet.<\/p>\n
