Have you ever thought of a bamboo cottage with flora abounding and nature singing sweet melodies? The dream is coming true in Bali, as many people are now adapting sustainable living to fight climate change and mitigate their carbon emissions. Bamboo houses and eco-villas are gaining popularity in the real estate sector of Bali due to the undeniable effects of global warming and increasing environmental awareness.   Why A Bamboo House?   Bamboo is one of the most eco-friendly, versatile and durable materials on earth, making it the perfect key component for an environmentally friendly Bali bamboo house. In addition to being an incredible plant with many uses and benefits, it’s a rapidly growing resource that benefits both the planet and the livelihoods of those who depend on it. So if you’re wondering, how can a villa be eco-friendly in Bali? Let’s take a look:   Rapid Growth Some bamboo grows incredibly quickly, with certain species reaching up to 2.91 feet in one day. This growth allows for deforestation reduction and sustainability. Bamboo Regenerates Depleted Soil Bamboo’s thick root mass restores depleted soil and filters dangerous nitrates, thereby preventing water pollution. In addition, the root system prevents soil and water loss, thus reducing the chances of accidents like landslides. Oxygen Production Bamboo yields 35% more oxygen than ordinary trees and absorbs CO2 significantly, leading to a healthier planet. Depending on the type of bamboo, a one hectare bamboo forest can absorb over 60 tonnes of CO2 in one year.     What Are The Advantages Of Living In A Bamboo House Villa?   Strength and Durability Bamboo has a tensile strength of 28,000 psi (pounds per square inch), which surpasses steel’s 23,000 psi (pounds per square inch). It is also two times harder than oak wood or other hardwoods making it a tough and eco-friendly building material.   Earthquake and Flame Resistance Being flexible, bamboo makes lighter structures that are less affected by earthquakes. Furthermore, it contains big quantities of silicate acid, making it highly resistant to fire outbreaks.   Insulating Properties Since bamboo serves as an insulator naturally, your house remains warm in cold days and cool during hot seasons. This property aids in saving electricity and minimizing carbon footprints.   Bamboo Villa In Bali With Bali Coconut Living   Looking for your dream Bali bamboo house?

Bali is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places in the world. Millions of tourists and travelers love Bali for its undeniably unique vibrations, beautiful nature and friendly locals. Unfortunately, the island seems to be struggling under the weight of pollution due to mass consumerism and mass tourism. This is clearly showcased through the piles of trash and plastic that suffocates its rivers, beaches and waterways. It’s not news that the island has a plastic and trash problem, but the good news is that there is always something that can be done, and it all starts with us. If you’re here because you’re sincerely looking for ways to give back and support this beautiful island, then we’ve got great news for you. There are actually plenty of ways to make a difference through various fun activities - from volunteering to shopping and participating in tours! Here are some ideas : Sungai Watch One of the most renowned and successful environmental organizations registered in both Bali and the USA. Its members are on a mission to stop plastic from going into the ocean. Every day, these river warriors clean hundreds of tons of plastic and other non-organic materials from Bali’s waterways. Cleaning up one river can take weeks, but the end result is amazing. They put up barriers along the mouths of rivers that collect rubbish, which is then collected and recycled. Rivers that were once polluted and uninhabited by any form of wildlife or marine life, would become clean and pristine once again thanks to the volunteers and members of Sungai Watch. Follow them on Instagram to learn more: @sungaiwatch. Trash Hero Canggu If you’ve been to Bali during the rainy season, you would have seen the amount of trash that gets washed up on the beach. It may be shocking but someone somewhere needs to do something and that’s the volunteers at Trash Hero. Established in 2018, Trash Hero is a movement that holds weekly meet-ups along the beaches of Canggu to pick up trash and keep paradise clean.  Every Sunday, its members meet and strive to clean, educate and create change among both local and international communities on the island. In addition to picking up trash and cleaning beaches, Trash Hero also runs community-led programs such as a water bottle refill program and environmental education for kids. Learn how you too can participate at https://trashhero.org Sustainable Tours and Activities In addition to volunteering, you can always participate in tours and activities that would benefit the local community, independent sellers and farmers without harming the environment. For example, you could go on a rice field tour with a local tour guide, participate in a local cooking class that uses organic greens from the surrounding areas, explore the natural wonders of Bali by bicycle, go on a Jukung boat ride, and attend local workshops run by local Balinese craftsmen and women. Choose from painting and wood carving to making your own coconut oil, soaps, jamu, and more. Shop Mindfully Another way to support environmental sustainability in Bali is to shop mindfully. There are shops here that sell only locally produced organic products that were made by local Balinese farmers such as jams and spreads, dried fruits, tea and coffee, incense sticks, essential oils, and so much more. Check out Samadi Bali, Kou, Sensatia Botanicals and Soil Food Temple. These shops sell all of the above and more, plus, you won’t see any plastic in the store! You could also shop at the local market or traditional market.
