It may look strange, but this light, bamboo and rubber ball is an anti-landmine device and works by blowing around in the wind and setting off hidden landmines left over from war.

Sagano Bamboo Grove is located in mountainous Arashiyama region of Kyoto. The place is splendid in its tranquility with tall bamboo stalks swaying gently back and forth under light wind.

Welcome to the green school in Bali, Indonesia. It provides its students with an education about the amazing environment that we live in. It is a holistic and relevant education. During the construction, only bamboo, elephant grass and clay were used. Cement was used just in some places in the foundation. The central and the most important building is the "heart of the school." It is perhaps the largest building in the world built entirely from bamboo. Its dimensions are 18 meters high and 64 meters long. General area of the school includes a variety of structures: apartment buildings, classrooms, office building, and cafes.  The school gets electricity from environmentally friendly sources of energy: hydraulic turbine generators and installed solar panels. It seems that considering the way we are polluting the earth, everyone should attend.
