Bamboo requires little or no pesticides and less water irrigation to grow. Bamboo is 100% bio-degradable; the fibers used to make bamboo fabric need not be sprayed with chemical additives of any sort. The original characteristics of natural anti-bacterial, anti-bacteria, anti-ultraviolet of bamboo fiber can be kept after repeated washing. CARBON DIOXIDE BUILDUP According to the Environmental Bamboo Foundation (EBF), bamboo's growth habits allow it to produce more oxygen than equivalent stands of trees. This aspect holds significant implications for the reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide - the greenhouse gas and a major environmental issue today - as planting and replanting of bamboo in groves and plantations could help mitigate- this problem. TROPICAL TIMBER DEPLETION Harvesting of bamboo is frequent since it reaches maturity within 3-4 years, and new shoots appear regularly and in great numbers. Replenishment and regrowth are quite fast and efficient in comparison to tropical timber trees, which have life cycles that are two to ten times longer. Bamboo increases its biomass by l0-30% per year which far exceeds that of trees, which is 2-5% annually, according to EBF. Also, bamboo produces more cellulosic material per acre than southern pine wood. Bamboo is a more sustainable resource than tropical timber trees and it could realistically replace or supplement tropical trees in many industries that are facing raw material shortage. •
