Exemplification
In Ghana, bikes are in high demand. Bikes are used to transport most of the country’s food and
material goods.

Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. It can grow up to 40 inches in a single
day.

Bamboo has qualities that make it as good as steel for building a durable, comfortable vehicle.
Bamboo contains a large amount of silicon dioxide or silica, a hard compound that is the most
abundant building block of rocks on Earth.

2. Problem and Solution

Few people have enough money to afford a car, so bikes are used to transport most of the
country’s food and material goods.

The people in Ghana are too poor to finance the construction of factories that build traditional
steel bikes. So, as a viable alternative, they mass produce bicycles made from locally grown
bamboo.
