Bamboo: The Miracle Plant

1. the problem with this plant/grass is the flowering... it takes from 60 to a century to bloom
2. I live in a country where the temperature can get to 50 c. Can it live in weather this hot?
3. I always liked bamboo but now I am in love.
4. remember 70% of earth's oxygen is produced by ocean, not by green trees.
5. 5:22 "keeping the body cooler when the weather is hot and warmer when it cold" lol
6. سبحان الله
7. Damn, the grass in my backyard would be a so jealous of it saw this big superior grass that is bamboo.
8. Global warming is a hoax, and has been proven so. If you can not even get that correct, what other BS are you serving up as fact?
9. Bamboo lore, it came from a different world or dimension, giving to an ancient hero whom vanquished a demonic villain. Before that, there is no bamboo in our world.
10. a bamboo "forrest" contains a fraction of the biomass of a mature redwood forest
11. i have a bamboo bush which is massive but i keep getting cuts from it
12. This prevent deforestation. Wouldn't this in courage deforestation to plant bamboo forest (if not does that mean you will remove habitat when harvesting), if you plant new bamboo forest how would this affect the wildlife in the area. Deer, Kangaroo (in Aus), goats, curtain bird species, antelope depand where you are. This might seem environmentally friendly but deforesting and replacing with bamboo will devastate eco systems and habitat with native species (the only place you can do this is in Asia and everyone knows how good they treat the environment)
13. Turning bamboo into fiber is the same as making viscose rayon from wood pulp.
14. Sounds like how hemp is such a wonder plant.
15. how cost the machine for producing textiles from bamboo?
16. egg tooth
17. I'm hooked
18. i dont get whats happening with pandas in danger. i get that they are going extinct but why?
19. Trees send roots to very deep underground to obtain minerals that may not be available on the surface. When a deciduous tree sheds its leaves, it will replenish the top soil with a lot of minerals. Bamboos cannot do that cause they have very shallow roots. So, bamboos can get whatever available only from the top soil. If you keep harvesting bamboos, you will end up using up everything available in the top soil. Bamboos also do not control soil erosion like trees.
    The only solution for human sustainability is to use as little natural resources as possible and remember not to flush your toilet cause you are flushing all the important nutrients obtained from the land to the sea.
20. Just got back from a Caribbean Cruise and bought two Cariloha bamboo t-shirts for my husband in Cozumel.  They are amazing, very comfortable, easy to wash, dry quickly - just the best.  They were not cheap (obviously) but were worth the money.  If you ever get the opportunity - buy some!
