Ways to save the planet: Swap concrete for wood
Wood is strong enough to build skyscrapers, while bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world. We investigate how they can be used to help fix climate change.
Wood is strong enough to build skyscrapers, and bamboo - the fastest growing plant in the world - can also be used for building. Both suck up large amounts of greenhouse gas. We find out what would happen if we used these materials instead of concrete in construction.
Produced and presented by Jo Mathys and Tom Heap.
