The green economy and bamboo: Green economy encompasses all activities or actions that reduce carbon dioxide

emissions to the atmosphere, green initiatives that ensure efficient use of natural resources for sustainable development and creation of job opportunities to alleviate poverty. Major elements and their link to bamboo: 1. Reducing carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere: bamboo acts as a carbon sink and absorbs excess carbon dioxide, thereby, reducing global warming. Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide and releases over 30% more oxygen into the atmosphere compared to an equivalent mass of trees. This makes bamboo excellent for absorbing greenhouse gases and producing clean, fresh oxygen. Supports MDG to Ensure Environmental Sustainability 2. Efficient use of natural resources for sustainable development: bamboo supports green initiative, its clump lasts for 40 years, rejuvenates more with regular harvesting, not easily destroyed, when bamboo is harvested, it will continue to grow new shoots from its amazing root system. There is no additional planting or cultivation. Bamboo grows in all sorts of climate zones and soil types where other crops fail. Bamboo grows over 3' (90cm) in height in a day! That's over 1.5" (3.8cm) in one hour!!. 3. Creates job opportunities to alleviate poverty: This super bamboo can produce a total biomass of 19,000 kg/ha, 9-10 tons of bamboo charcoal per hectare per year, manufacture toothpicks, matchsticks, bicycles, soil erosion control, process fencing poles, panel board, construction, manufacture of wooden products food and shelter.
