| | Bamboo grows 3 times faster than trees that make up deciduous and conifer forests which take 30 -50 years to regenerate after harvesting |
| |
| | Bamboo requires just 6 months to mature and some species can grow up to 1 foot per day Bamboo forests cover nearly 35 million acres of the Earth's surface |

| | All plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and emit oxygen (O2), which cleans the air. Bamboo removes more carbon dioxide than most trees due to its exceptionally fast growth and can aid the world's global warming. |
