the Grass that binds – Vetiver

19/02/2008 DesignFlute 3 Comments

I call Vetiver grass the eco steel!

The roots of Vetiver grass have strength of 1/6 of mild steel.

Something as simple as grass and what could be the count of applications and environmental solutions it offers – somewhere around 10,000!! (see some here)

No, I am not joking or exaggerating!

I came to know about this wonderful grass when I did this post.

And there is some great news ?

The first ever National Workshop on the ‘Vetiver System for Environmental Protection and Natural Disaster Management’ is going to be held from 21^st to 23^rd February 2008 at Cochin, Kerala, India. Overseas participants are welcome.

This workshop provides the means for low cost and immediate action using a proven and tested technology. It is of great importance for people who are looking to remedy many land and water resource problems relating to climate change, resource degradation and pollution.
