Dear EarthTalk: “Why are some people in the green building industry so bullish on bamboo?” - Tim Carey, Puyallup, Washington

Bamboo, one of the fastest-growing plants on the planet, is well-known as a rudimentary building material used for many centuries. Today, although the resource is often limited to scaffolding or remote housing projects, advocates have recently rallied for its usage in modern construction. To combat growing greenhouse gas emissions in this industry, bamboo can become an alternative to traditional building materials, mitigating climate change with both economic benefits and sustainable qualities.
