Bamboo has a role to play. The planet is deteriorating all around us and it seems that people are just getting used to it rather than doing anything about it. The social, political and economic implications are unimaginable as our ozone layer thins, forest disappear and deserts form, disease rages, earthquakes destroy, housing evaporates and food supplies dwindle. Bamboo has a role to play. Perhaps the environmental crises at hand have not touched your life, but the time will come. The earth desperately needs the attention and action of all of us or our children's children will surely not have a world fit to live in. There is no one solution but amazingly, the simple bamboo plant can make a dramatic positive impact in many areas. It is our goal to inform and raise awareness about "People, The Environment and Bamboo" and give people the tools and information to then respond in their own way in their own world. Every action counts, every person counts...

Bamboo is the fastest growing plant. It makes greater biomass and 30% more oxygen than a hardwood forest of the same size.
Bamboo can be harvested every year and regenerates without replanting. A tree takes 30-50 years to harvest, so proportionately over time bamboo yields 20 times more timber than common wood.
