Bamboo Buddy™ is Environmentally Friendly
Bamboo is better. Environmentally Conscious
As a natural and renewable resource, bamboo offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional wood. Because bamboo is a grass, it can be harvested without the devastating effect of deforestation.
Bamboo has one of the fastest regeneration potential of any plant and is capable of growing up to three feet per day! Bamboo can be harvested every 3 to 5 years, versus 10 to 20 for other timber, such as maple.
Bamboo is also a crucial element in the atmospheric balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide. It absorbs nearly five times the amount of greenhouse gases and produces 35% more oxygen than trees. Plus, bamboo is 100% biodegradable: born from nature and returns completely to nature.
Strength
Bamboo is one of the strongest building materials available. When treated, bamboo can be used in construction to provide durable, yet lightweight material. Mature bamboo has tensile strength of 28,000 psi, greater than mild steel at 23,000 psi.
Bamboo is very effective in structure protection during earthquakes. Due to its durable pliancy, only the bamboo houses from the national Bamboo Project were able to withstand the devastating Costa Rican earthquake in 1992.
Versatility
Bamboo can be used in many projects, from structural support in high rise architecture to decorative binding for your home Tiki bar. It can be worn, cooked in, walked on, and even eaten (we don’t recommend gnawing on your Bamboo Buddy fence).
Bamboo is durable, yet flexible. Its natural beauty allows for incorporation into both indoor and outdoor designs.
So, what can bamboo do for me?
Naturally organic, bamboo is free from pesticides and is naturally hypo-allergenic. It provides effective protection from harmful ultraviolet rays that may be intruding on your backyard. Thanks to its extensive root system, bamboo proves to effectively reduce rainwater runoff, which prevents massive soil erosion and can provide watershed protection.
Bamboo can provide shade for your backyard, wind and sound barriers for your tranquil garden, and aesthetic beauty for your home furnishings. Traditional belief holds that bamboo can restore serenity and stimulate ingenuity.
Need another way to reduce your carbon footprint? Bamboo is a viable alternative to traditional wood and an important part in the green movement.
