The Reason I'm Blogging ........


My name is Jay Brown, and I'm a 12-year-old boy starting a blog for my math  project to go green, by using bamboo instead of wood.  I might blog about other things, but for now I want to talk about some of the benefits of bamboo.  One reason that I think bamboo should be used instead of wood is that it could help a lot to stop global warming.  Another reason is that it could help decrease air pollution, because bamboo is lighter than wood.  This simple fact means it would be much easier to carry it to other places by truck.   This way,  not as much exhaust will come out of the tail pipe and into the air, therefore decreasing air pollution.
We should also consider that bamboo grows about two times faster than trees that we get wood from. This means that we would be able to  stop cutting down the rain forests (and other tree-rich areas) so frequently if we used bamboo instead.  Because bamboo grows a lot faster than trees,  we could have more bamboo to use at a time, and produce more things that require wood, like houses,  furniture, wood floors, etc.  This could also have a positive effect on economy since we would be able to create more goods at a lower overall cost.  These are just some potential benefits of exchanging bamboo for wood that I will be discussing in my blog.  I hope you enjoy reading and comments are appreciated.  Let's all do our part to help conserve valuable resources.
