Three good reasons for choosing bamboo homes1. Environmental. It takes an acre of trees to build a typical home, but because bamboogrows so fast and dense, the bamboo for a home grows in an area the size of the home itself.Use bamboo and save a forest.2. Structural. Bamboo exceeds strength of construction wood by several times. It is durable,resilient and long-lasting.3. Aesthetic. Bamboo has a tradition dating back thousands of years because it is considereda beautiful material with such a luxurious ambiance.
