Can't we just bury the bamboo?
3 comments

Burying it is a waste. Using it as a construction material also displaces concrete and steel, leading to further remissions reductions.
The idea is to make the bamboo useful so farming it would be profitable.
Use carbon taxes to pay bamboo framers to grow and the bury the bamboo. Or whatever plant has the bast characteristics for this job.

Grow it, shred it, compact it, bury it.

Or throw it on a big pile somewhere? Shouldn't be too hard to stop/delay the decay somehow.

Bamboo Mountain could be a tourist attraction. "The Mountain that Saved the Climate!"
