The potential of bamboo in minimazing the weather problems in urban areas

Abstract

The paper discusses the problems caused by global warming, and raises possible alternatives that if combined with joint efforts can minimize the impacts generated by humanity that misappropriate natural resources. At first assesses effects and changes experienced in urban centers by global warming, and then evaluate the possibility of mitigating these impacts through the expansion of green areas, prioritizing the use of bamboo species, which has greater capacity to absorb carbon dioxide. The results highlight the importance of increasing the amount and application of bamboo on public roads, parks and linear parks, through the sort of the various species, especially in the city of São Paulo.
