A company in Ghana, Africa, is giving young people jobs, transport and better health by making bikes out of bamboo.

Compared with building bikes from metal, bamboo requires less electricity and fewer hazardous chemicals and helps to cut carbon emissions from transport.

Founder of Ghana Bamboo Bikes, Bernice Dapaah explains how using bamboo is good for the environment and local economy.

Africa grows 12% of the world’s bamboo but accounts for just 1% of global bamboo trade because many local people lack the skills to create wealth from it, Ghana Bamboo Bikes is changing this and protecting the environment.
