I would have to read the article but without reading it this sounds like comparing two things that are disimilar ... unless someone has discovered away to make bamboo into a substance that behaves like plastic. Bamboo socks are good though; so maybe bamboo is the new cotton or silk.
I think bamboo is a great product and is better than plastic! It is a renewable resource and is almost as strong as steel, so almost anything can be make with bamboo. I think soon it will be used much more for building houses, furniture, housing commodities, clothes (bamboo fabric is already used to make clothes, towels, bed linen).
Just watch and see. It really is GREEN. I've written a hub about it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
