  • Bamboo is clocked as the fastest growing plant on Earth. Some species have been measured to grow over 4 feet in 24 hours
  • A pole of bamboo can regenerate to its full mass in just six months!
  • Bamboo can be continuously re-harvested every 3 years, without causing damage to the plant system and surrounding environment
  • During the time it takes to regenerate, the bamboo plant’s root system stays intact so erosion is prevented
  • Continuous harvesting of this woody grass every 3-7 years, actually improves the overall health of the plant
  • It is believed that if bamboo were planted on a mass basis it could completely reverse the effects of global warming in just 6 years, while providing a renewable source of food, building material, and erosion prevention
