In case of giant tropical bamboo, one newly planted bamboo plant can sequester 2 tons of carbon dioxide in just 7 years. In comparison, a typical hardwood tree will sequester 1 ton of carbon dioxide in 40 years. When compared to pine, bamboo can absorb up to 5 times more CO2. Harvested and treated bamboo doesn't deteriorate (bamboo houses of more than 200 years still exist today). For more information see: www.guaduabamboo.com/why-bamboo

@@GuaduaBamboo Yes it do more on paper but bamboo throw also 5 times (or more) more leaves... That means those give the captured CO2 to the ground and in the rotting process into the atmosphere again... The tree trunk is where the most CO2 is stored ...compared to bamboo it looks more efficiently in terms of space. If you prevent that the bamboo give it's CO2 rather early back into the atmosphere in producing long lasting items or replace plastic products i would be amazed. But aside from religious temples or in 3rd. world areas etc. there are seldom buildings from bamboo who are made for sustain decades or 200 years.

@ there are thousands of durable products made from bamboo, I suggest you watch this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m61dg6yqx7vPiGQ.html
