@wunder2welt Read some of my old threads, it’s all there 😉 https://t.co/MG1rd2wfMF
Always explain what climate *means*. “1 part per million (ppm) of CO2 in the atmosphere is 2.13 billion t (Gt) carbon or 7.82 Gt CO2.” A hypothetical 30 million ha of bamboo plantation, as much as all bamboo forest (!), would sequester only 1 ppm per year.
Scale: EU needs ~hundred thousands ha of bamboo plantation to cover industry demands (construction, furniture, fabrics, etc.). Imports can’t deliver this - smart policy will reflect biodiversity-climate change, jobs, local value creation in Southern Europe
1. 1500 bamboo species in 119 genera, native to all continents safe Antarctica and Europe, cover 31.5 million ha or 1% of total world forested area. Forest management and use in buildings/furniture/art are required to meet bamboo's potential as carbon sink
