A local park ranger I know likes to remark that our state tree is a grass. (I'm in Florida.)

But I'd say that's also inaccurate. IMO, grasses are in the family Poaceae, and palms are in the family Arecaceae. I guess one could remark that our state tree is a commelinid...but I don't think tourists would get as much of a kick out of that.

How many social credit points do I lose if I refer to bamboo products as "wood" outside of botany nerd circles?

(crossposter's comment: Personally I suggest checking out the MIT Tech Review article on this first, which gives useful context.)

Taking rock (Olivine) and dumping it on the beach, so that the waves break it down, adjust ocean pH and mineralize the CO₂.
