Reducing your ecological footprint seems to be a cultural value that will carry us for a very long time. Designers from all over the world are utilizing this value as a driver for innovation and reinterpretation, so perhaps, us consumers can join in the change. Diego Cárdenas , an industrial designer based in Mexico City, has reinterpreted the common bicycle into a more sustainable product. By replacing the metal body of the bicycle with bamboo, it reduces energy and emissions of CO2 while generating 30% more of oxygen, which makes bamboo a more efficient air purifier than trees. Bamboo is strong, flexible and light which makes it a great substitute for wood or steel, depending on the project.
