Bamboo is a group of woody perennial evergreen plants in the true grass family Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Some of its members are giant bamboo, forming by far the largest members of the grass family. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world. Their accelerated growth rate (up to 3-4 feet/day (1.5-2.0 inches/hr)) is due to a unique rhizome system and is dependent on local soil and climate conditions.

Many traditional Japanese houses have been use bamboo to build their eco friendly homes. And here I want to share this eco friendly homes video which tell you about the benefits and how great if we use bamboo to build our eco homes and its interior.
