Building with Bamboo
We are already aware of the different and wonderful uses that trees and plants have. They not only provide us with fruits and vegetables, but
they also produce beautiful flowers from which we make colors, perfumes, and even tea. However, trees and plants have another important use.
They are used for building! Before humans made homes with bricks and concrete, they used plants such as bamboo. Bamboo is extremely
strong and lengthy. That makes bamboo a useful resource for building houses. Bamboo is used even today for making sleeping mats, bowls,
and cages. Bamboo is hollow, so water can easily pass through it. As a result, people use bamboo as empty pipes to water plants. It is surely
amazing to think about the vast number of uses that plants and trees such as bamboo can have.
