Green Bamboo Homes
Perfect Carbon Footprint
Friends, in 2009 my chosen blog designer provided a game plan and a decent upfront fee. After expending AUD$, years go by so quickly, and a new blog designer disagrees thus I spent more AUD $ upfront in 2017.
Time rolls on and the blogs are judged wrong by the powerhouse. So be it, the story of my life! Simon says you must not piggyback an internet video.
As a result, today 19 October 2022 I declare the video is deleted or perhaps the video was deleted previously from this blog post. The information however is current and there are so many comments so I will not delete the post.
Regardless the subject of the blog is liked. Type ‘ Bamboo House: How Bamboo Homes Are The Green Building Solution ‘ a relevant Boolean term into ‘YouTube’ or your selected search engine to find the relevant information. Blog on and stay safe.
What makes bamboo the perfect carbon sequestration system? Why should we use bamboo to build green?
Learn more about this amazing grass, from other uses including biochar for energy, to how it absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. www.BambooLiving.com
Carbon sequestration is the process of removal and storage of carbon (i.e. carbon dioxide, CO 2) from the atmosphere in carbon sinks (such as forests, woody plants, mangroves or soils).
Bamboo plants are one of the fastest-growing plants on this earth and are widely considered to have a high ability to capture and sequester atmospheric carbon, and consequently mitigate climate change. Scientists etc have tested this hypothesis by measuring carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions from bamboo culms and comparing them with their biomass sequestration potential. [images via google]

I was just looking for this info for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your web site. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this kind of informative websites in top of the list. Usually the top web sites are full of garbage.
Thanks for the article, is there any way I can get an update sent in an email whenever you write a fresh post?
