Bamboo U Picture Blog, April 2018
Last month I joined forty people from twenty-one different countries in the jungle of Bali, Indonesia to participate in a twelve day bamboo workshop. We arrived eager to learn and share with one another and left enriched with a dynamic and immersive bamboo experience. The staff at Bamboo U brought incredible knowledge, passion, and diverse backgrounds to the workshop. Thank you Orin Hardy (director), Jules de Laage (architect), Jorg Stamm (carpenter/bamboo builder), Arief Abiek (founder of 1,000 Bamboo Villages initiative), Moko (bamboo craftsman), Scott Vandervoort (design specialist), Neil Thomas (engineer), Elora Hardy, Ewe Jin Low, all my fellow participants, and everyone else present for the energy and passion you brought to Bamboo U April 2018.

The group was comprised of architects, artists, engineers, designers, entrepreneurs and more. We had differing interests with bamboo, but all of us came because we were drawn by the magical designs and immense scale of The Green School and Green Village. 
We took a trip to be a part of Arief Babik's 1,000 Bamboo Villages campaign to restore degraded land in Indonesia by tactfully planting bamboo. Among other ecological benefits, bamboo can balance the water cycle that has been adversely affected by climate change by storing massive amounts of water in the rainy season and releasing that water back into the soil in the dry seasons. Below you can see pictures of where we planted bamboo at one of the 1,000 Bamboo Villages land restoration sites.
Part of Arief's plan for 1,000 Bamboo Villages is to routinely cut and sell the raw bamboo to bamboo viscose and other bamboo fiber producers. This is a sustainable model of bamboo fiber production where the farmers benefit and bamboo is planted to help restore degraded land. 
The innovation station led by Scott Vandervoort was full of creative ideas.

Furley from Indonesia made this bike for his 3 year old son. 
During a two-day architecture design station I was a part of a team led by Muffadal from Chicago and lead architect Santiago from Columbia. We designed a grand reception building that would inspire visitors with an amazing view and massive sprawling bamboo poles. Muffadal has plans to pursue the building of this design at his hostel called Casa de Oro in Nicaragua. Pictured below: Muffadal, Santiago, and Ibuku lead Architect Ewe Jin Low.

Moko (see center of below picture) from Indonesia, a master bamboo craftsman from Indonesia, has been working with bamboo for decades. He taught us how to cut bamboo and how to carve bamboo for bamboo joinery called a "fish-mouth". One observer noted that the sound of his knife carving the bamboo created a soothing melody.

Sriram from India (below) became a leader of the parking lot structure project.

The majority of our food was sourced directly from the Kul Kul Farm on site - many authentic Balinese dishes added a cultural experience to the course and brought people together over love of fresh food.
Many of us had sweet bamboo dreams in this beautiful bamboo building shown below. Others slept in bamboo yurts and cabins.

Hey, footprintbamboo!
Do you not wish you had a chance at becoming Instagram popular?
If you’re like me, you have trawled Instagram, thinking “how do so many friggin people get so famous”?
Picture this: You wake up early in the morning, even before your alarm goes off.
You pull out your cell.
Flipping to Instagram.
You‘re flabbergastered at what is waiting for you: Over 652 likes on a single one of your pictures! There, you see a a huge amount of likes on your pictures—over 738 on a single photo alone.
Heading to the kitchen, you put the kettle on for some tea and check your Instagram while you wait.
Presto! Another 87 likes.
Here comes another one. This time it’s not a like but a message from one of your followers. They congratulate you on your success and let you know they love scrolling through your content.
The kettle blows and you pour your tea. When you flip out your phone, there is another message—this time from a young girl—thanking you for posting. She follows you religiously and you are an inspiration.
As you begin to write back, your phone buzzes again.
Wow, ANOTHER message. You close your cellphone and throw it in the bag. Time for the gym.
Let’s stop the simulation there. People have a hard time getting what they want in life. People can hardly get themselves to eat a good breakfast.
My job is to take people from Instagram nobody to Insta-celebrity. (It sounds foolish, but results don’t lie.)
Now, what if you raised your popularity by 100%, or 1000%?
Truth is, it’s not the most complicated thing in the world to get more. As an example, all the old pros use our website.
In just minutes after posting, we get your images piled with likes.
If you’re anything like our other valued compadres, you will have a great chance of hitting the “Top Post” section in a very short time.
And because we love you, we made testing things out as simple as kitchen-cooled apple crumble:
1. Click https://brightjam.club
2. Put your Instagram username.
3. Your three most recent uploads will get 10 – 15 likes. Just like that.
Hitting the Top Post page will 10X your InstaGrowth. But you have got to do more than just want it—you have got to do something about it. Are you willing?
Happy image-uploading.
