But in Ghana, a businessman has developed another way to make bicycle frames from a natural product bamboo. Bamboo does not get much respect in Ghana. Farmers think of bamboo as an unwanted plant that needs clearing from their land. Workers use it to support buildings. But Kwabena Danso thinks bamboo is much more valuable. He operates a business called Booomers International which makes bicycle frames out of bamboo and sells them to other countries. Kwabena Danso states bamboo can help Ghana in many ways.

He serves as a supervisor（监工）for the company. Mr. Razak says that without this job, he would still be living at home with his parents. He adds that the job helps him a lot.Kwabena Danso has sold only a few of his bamboo bicycle frames within Ghana. Walter Kudzodzi is one of his customers. He bought a bicycle earlier this year. Mr. Kudzodzi says his bike gets a lot of attention when he rides around his neighborhood.“For example one Saturday, I rode about five kilometers around my neighborhood and everywhere I went, people were just looking at me. And from time to time you hear, Hey, its made out of bamboo. Hey, thats the bamboo bicycle. And every time I stop to take a break, people come close to me and say, Wow, we heard about this, but this is the first time weve seen it. Does it work? I say, Yeah, try it.”Mr. Dansos business has received lots of orders for his frames. He says Booomers is ready for expansion（扩展）.

But Chai told that we share the same responsibility since we breathe the same air and there is a lot we can do,” Chen Jining, new minister of environmental protection told the press on March 1, 2015. “Protecting the environment is never ones own business. We welcome everybodys effort.” On the contrary, some people dont appreciate the film, especially when it shows a banner from Xingtai in Hebei saying “Congratulations to our city for no longer coming the last place among the countrys 74 cities as for air quality”.

I thought to myself I could do this. I begged my mother to let me have a try. Two weeks later when the greeting cards arrived, I ripped off the wrapping paper, grabbed the cards and rushed out. Three hours later, I returned home with no card and a pocket full of money saying excitedly, “Mama, all the people couldnt wait to buy my cards!” A salesperson was born. When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark stadium and listening to Mr. Zigler who raised everyones spirits up to the ceiling. I left there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to make people feel like that.” My father asked me what I meant. “I want to be a motivational speaker（励志演说家）just like Mr. Zigler,” I replied. A dream was born.Recently, I began running after my dream. After a four-year relationship with a big company beginning as a sales trainer and ending as a sales manager, I left the company at the height of my career.

It was OK to go back to my former company, knowing they still wanted me but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward. A motivational speaker was born.When I held fast to my dream, even during the tough times, the miracles really began to happen. In a short time period my husband found a better job. We didnt miss a mortgage payment. And I was able to book several speaking engagements with new customers. I discovered the unbelievable power of dreams. I loved my old job, my workmates and the company I left, but it was time to get on with my dream. To celebrate my success I had a local artist paint my new office as a garden.
