Bharat Biotech Celebrates World Environment Day through Bamboo Plantation Hyderabad|India|June'2009: Bharat Biotech International and its employees celebrated the World Environment Day by planting Bamboo samplings at their facility in Genome Valley . Dr. Krishna Mohan, President, BBIL, distributed saplings to the employees. This was part of the CII and its members drive to mark the world environment day. More than 3000 seedlings of Bamboo were planted on 5th June'09 by CII members who participated in Bamboo Plantation drive actively. The theme for WED 2009 is 'Your Planet Needs You-UNite to Combat Climate Change'. It reflects the urgency for nations to agree on a new deal at the crucial climate convention meeting in Copenhagen some 180 days later in the year, and the links with overcoming poverty and improved management of forests. A grass, not wood, bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet -- some species can grow up to 1 meter per day.  It matures and can be harvested every six years (a lumber tree can take 20 years), does not need to be replanted (it's generated from a system of roots). Bamboo is also a critical element in the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as it helps restore degraded areas and generate more oxygen than an equivalent standard of trees. Bamboo lowers light intensity and protects against ultraviolet rays and is an atmospheric and soil purifier. This once-exotic material is showing up everywhere. It's durable, plentiful, very quick to grow and a good source of oxygen. Reachout's News Bureau  June' 2009
