Why the name O₂ Bamboo?

One of the amazing attributes of Bamboo is its ability to absorb the ever increasing levels of carbon dioxide from our earth's atmosphere, and creating oxygen, or "O₂".  In fact, it creates a lot of O₂.  Bamboo's leafy canopy produces up to 35% more O₂ than an equivalent stand of trees.
