Even though theres a lot of great uses for this its often burned as fuel polluting our air. But if you mix this bagasse with binder you can create a really strong building block Testing is still being carried out to"

"Why Are Ropes Appearing In Jungles In Costa Rica These ropes are solving a big problem thats been created in forests Can you guess what it is See when roads are built through forests and trees are cut down it takes away the ability for animals to travel across the forest canopy especially slow moving animals like sloths.

So Osa Conservation in Costa Rica have been creating a bunch of Arboreal Bridges since [----] to help protect the amazing wildlife near the Osa Peninsula"

"Why Are Ropes Appearing In Jungles In Costa Rica These ropes are solving a big problem thats been created in forests Can you guess what it is See when roads are built through forests and trees are cut down it takes away the ability for animals to travel across the forest canopy especially slow moving animals like sloths.

So Osa Conservation in Costa Rica have been creating a bunch of Arboreal Bridges since [----] to help protect the amazing wildlife near the Osa Peninsula"
