Bamboo Day: the fastest-growing plant (growing up to 3 ft per day) is stronger than steel, eco-friendly, and used for food, furniture, and clothes. Absorbing more carbon dioxide & releasing more oxygen than trees, it grows in a variety of climates & regenerates quickly after being cut! If you venture into the bamboo forests, beware of pandas, who eats shoots and leaves . . .
