Pics Of Bamboo Buildings & Chandeliers Prove It’s An Eco-Friendly Alternative To Wood

A few months back, pictures of ‘bamboo bottles’ made by artisans from Tripura went viral online and it became a huge hit. The initiative worked towards making tribals more economically independent and moving towards a more self-reliant and eco-friendly future.

It was also clarified that bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world. Hence, cutting bamboo is way more eco-friendly than cutting down trees for wood which takes several years to grow. But over the years, people have become more dependent on wood. For example, most of our furniture is made of wood.

Terrible events from the past few years like melting icebergs, forest fires, severe drought and floods are proof of the fact that our environment is suffering and as humans, we need to change our ways.
