We are developing a solution to solving housing deficit, unemployment, reducing and building resilience to Climate Change by constructing new Bamboo Composite Affordable eco-homes in new ecological communities. To avoid most of the mistakes that was done in building our existing communities that has brought us to where we are today – Climate Change; instead of the existing communities improving the environment, social and economic lives of the people living in them, they are rather responsible for around 70% of the total greenhouse gas emissions globally. We are developing an innovative Bamboo Composite Affordable Eco-Home using Bamboo, Lime, Laterite, Biochar, pozzolanic materials etc. to construct the first commercial, social and natural carbon removal eco-homes on the market today; without using Cement, Timber, Sand, Metallic Roofing Sheets and PVC Pipes. An Affordable Eco-Home at 40% less cost that can store a minimum of 54 tonnes of CO2 like Forest. This innovation allows us to, naturally and physically, remove any past, present and future CO2 emissions. So instead of these homes contributing to Climate Change like the conventional buildings, our innovative Bamboo Composite Affordable Eco-Home will rather act as Forest, absorbing CO2. And because of the Lime and Biochar content; indoor air quality and humidity is greatly improved, leading to high energy efficiency and good health for the occupants. Bamboo is stronger than steel, carries more load than concrete and is earthquake resistant. Lime absorbs during drying about 60% of the CO2 it emits during processing Limestone into Lime product. However, whatever the limitations of alternative building materials such as bamboo, Lime, Laterite, Biochar and pozzolana, etc. are, they can’t be worse than the dangers posed by continuing with the status quo of environmentally damaging construction. Our new Bamboo ecological communities will be powered totally with efficient renewable energy and sustainable water systems and the cities’ roads and drains will be constructed with Laterite, Lime, Biochar modified Asphalt. The Biochar to be used will be a by-product from solid and organic waste after it has been used to generate renewable electricity and thermal energy.The General Layout of the Bamboo Ecological Communities will be based on Urban Farming - Permaculture principle and natural food forest ecosystem. The typical layout of every plot within the "Bamboo Ecological Communities" will have a greenhouse that will employ at least one person in order to provide for food security and also to reduce unemployment within the new eco-communities.
