The amazing bamboo keeps on being a multi-purpose, genius plant 🤩😍

Do these films reach further than FT subscribers? They should be compulsory viewing for young people who have little hope for the future. They create a great platform for more questions and not just answers

What a brilliant, intelligent enterprise and an excellent film.

Bamboo is very important as for building support

perfect work.

A bidet is better, for personal use and environment but I always love it when people explain the many wonderful uses of bamboo.

👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Just get a bidet. Best purchase ever.

When I was there the cob of corn was my toilet paper. 👌👌

You'd think FT would know that unsustainable = unprofitable but you'd be wrong.

This is an environmental disaster happening in real time. Bamboo is incredible fast growing and will overtake the natural fauna and flora reducing biodiversity with unknown consequences. While the west can afford to push towards better standards and move environmental processes people on the poverty line cannot, they have to do whatever will provide them an income irrelevant of the longer term consequences to their locality. Therefore western consumers should not be supporting this, but support more sustainable and local plant life and attributes of these areas, that will produces novel products not common in western markets, but can be developed and monetised for their economy. This can be seen in things like Cocoa, Coffee, Quinoa, but also a whole range of products that aren't as developed in the western market. Use the natural enviroment to you advantage and make a niche, importing Bamboo from China to make Toilet paper is not a road to prosperity or development, and that is mainly because once it is there, it will take over everything!
