It may sound ironical but true. Whilst on one hand China together with India rebuffed to ink the Bali draft deal to cut carbon emissions, on other Chinese national has made an effort to lay down the first ever-contemporary bamboo bridge. This draws a gray line of difference between the hierarchies defined by top bureaucrats pretentious enough to contribute for a greener world and ground level ordinary men who know the way to reach their targets.

Initiated by the School of Civil Engineering of Hunan University, a year of R&D and trial & error went into grousing up the strength of the bamboo organization that ultimately became the viaduct as it was commenced formally on the 12 January. The bridge underwent the testing period with its first cargo of 8.6 tones. The bridge is said to be capable of shipping around 90 tones of inert mass. Now comes your way for its critical analyses. Will it be durable enough? Well, the bridge has already cleared the test as it has a life-value of 20 years. Also, it is budgeted than any concrete bridge available and the credit goes to its cheap bamboo.
