#Bamboo #PlayHouzz
Hiking through the bamboo jungle, the young explorer comes across a magical village. Nestled between the clumps of towering bamboo are dozens of magical dwellings. Who might live here?, wonders our jungle adventurer. Each little cottage is made of strong and beautiful bamboo, just like its surroundings. Some of these homes are even tucked into the crooks of banyan trees, connected by suspension bridges! Our intrepid traveler grabs a hold of a bamboo ladder and climbs up to one of the cozy abodes. The view above the canopy is breathtaking. The bamboo forest stretches for miles with tiny bamboo homes popping through here and there. Our friend has found a community living in harmony with nature, using plentiful bamboo to create their unique village. Our protagonist remembers that bamboo is actually a grass - so it grows right back after you cut it! You can make houses out of grass? (Yes, you can!) Our adventurer can’t wait to learn more about this miraculous bamboo plant and how people are using it to build strong, creative, living, breathing homes. What an expedition!

The numerous benefits of building with BAMBOO:
BEAUTIFUL & VERSATILE
Bamboo has a naturally beautiful aesthetic and is unique, interesting, and
authentic. Diverse uses in everyday life: building materials, furniture, clothing,
paper, high tech, food, bio-mass, fodder, and more!
STRONG
Bamboo is a strong and enduring building material. It has the same tensile
strength as mild steel, and all our homes are engineered to withstand hurricane
force winds. In 1995, Bamboo Living homes stood strong when a hurricane hit
the Cook Islands with 173 mph winds.
DURABLE
Bamboo Living structural poles are thoroughly treated and third-party inspected
with time-tested, natural, non-toxic borates. Borates are a safe, easy, and
very effective way to protect all wood species from any kind of insect or decay
attack.
FAST-GROWING
Bamboo is a grass, and it grows like a grass: fast. Bamboo can grow to its full
height and diameter in a matter of months and be ready to harvest for structural
use in 3 to 4 years. When shooting, bamboo grows 3-4 feet per day.
SOLUTION TO DEFORESTATION
Bamboo efficiently produces more usable timber/acre/year than trees. How?
The root system of a tree dies after harvesting and each new tree seedling
must grow a new root system. After harvesting bamboo culms, the root system
does not die, but feeds new shoots, and mature culms send carbohydrates to
the new shoots.
SEQUESTERS CARBON
When sustainably harvested bamboo is transformed into long lasting durables
(like houses or properly treated building materials), the embodied CO2 is
stored for 150 years, thus creating an effective carbon capture and storage
system. According to preliminary studies, each Bamboo Living 1000 sq ft
house embodies 28 tons of CO2.
