Bamboo is an amazing and widely available material it grows extremely fast and so is a very renewable material. Bamboo can be used to build a multitude of structures due to the fact it is both light and strong. bamboo can be easily lashed together to form rafts, bridges, irrigation systems. As well as having the ability to be split easily along it's length giving even more possibilities to construction with bamboo it can be eaten and also made into a wool like fabric.
The construction properties of bamboo are similar to that of plastics in that the are both light and strong. Plastics though do not degrade as fast the can come in any shape and also in any colour. for example the final property stated means that a luminous object could be created which could be easily seen by rescuers.
