You're right of course, but not solely. It's also got very, very high compressive strength.

Well yeah, so does bamboo.

Bro, it's not equivalent.

Bamboo's got about 1.7MPa compressive strength to weak concrete's 15MPa.

I'm absolutely keen on caring for nature, but being pragmatic also hinges on knowing when to use certain materials at the right times. As an engineer, my goal is maximizing utility, and thus minimizing environmental impact when considering the system (earth) as a whole.
