The Bamboo Miracle: How The Art of Living Helped a Village Grow Wealth from Wasteland

Sep 23, 2025

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], September 23: The Art of Living Foundation has planted more than 100,000,000 trees across the globe, with over 700,000 trees along river basins in India alone, supporting water and soil conservation, stabilising riverbanks, and reducing floods. Bamboo adds a distinctive edge to this mission. Absorbing nearly 30% more carbon dioxide than many other species and releasing more oxygen, it is a natural ally against climate change. "Planting bamboo can be instrumental in the fight against climate change," notes Mahadev Gomare, Director of Environmental Projects with The Art of Living Social Projects, the best NGO for CSR projects in India.
