Bamboocentral.org is the website of The Environmental Bamboo Foundation (EBF). It is an Indonesian non-profit organization founded by designer Linda Garland in 1993 to protect tropical forests by promoting and demonstrating the many conservation and development opportunities that bamboo offers.
This website introduces bamboo in various aspects. I didn’t know that bamboo has so many good points. First of all bamboo has strong positive effects to our environment. It removes CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and converting it into plant tissue which release oxygen (O2) as a by-product. 1 hectare of bamboo forest converts 60 tons of CO2 per year comparing to young normal wood-forest only can do around 15 tons of CO2 per year.
Beside its role in the environmental issue, it is amazing material. This website also introduces how great bamboo is as a building material. Bamboo’s tensile strength is 28,000 pounds per square inch versus 23,000 pounds per square inch for steel. In fact, 1000 houses of bamboo are built annually with material coming only from a 60 hectare bamboo plantation in Costa Rica.
"Ply boo" is now being used for wall paneling and floor tiles; bamboo pulp for paper-making; briquettes for fuel, raw material for housing construction; and rebar for reinforced concrete beams.
Not only this, bamboo is also used as a food and medicine especially in Asia.
I think the great thing of this website is that it introduces various strong points of bamboo instead of pushing people to use bamboo just with environmental reason. Even though you don’t really care of green issue there are whole other reasonable facts that would make you willing to use bamboo.
