Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution
Bamboo grows in abundance anywhere in the Philippines It requires little care and grows at an outstanding rate (even at 4 ft per day) A Norwegian scientist remarked that bamboo can save the earth
What are commercial application of bamboo:
1. Food - labong (sold in China and Philippines as fresh, canned or dried. Plenty of health benefits
2. Textile - softer than cotton can be used for T shirts, blankets, towels
3. Paper and packaging material
4. House construction
5. Decors
6. Deckings and flooring
7. Scaffolding and construction use
8. Carbon trading. It is seen as a way out of carbon dioxide build up. A hectare can reduce CO2 by as much as 2,000 tons per year per hectare; an equivalent of CO2 exhaust by a jet plane on trans atlantic voyage. Carbon credits can be traded and sold as compliance by polluting industries.
Bamboo is seen as replacement for timber which takes 50 to 100 years to mature. Bamboo matures in 3 years.
Lets grow rich in bamboo?! There are association of bamboo growers at Mindanao. Former Sec of Agriculture Manny Pinol is active in this.
