Koohii stories:

1) [Hyland1] 14-10-2006(229): The temples in kyoto belt bamboo around trees in a scheme to protect them from the huge number of tourists. (true story)———– 対策 たいさく measure, countermeasure.

2) [pm215] 3-4-2008(122): (Elaboration of jameserb's story:) A clever scheme from Wile E Coyote – he ties one of those rubber belts to some trees and uses it to launch a bamboo spear at the roadrunner…

3) [PepeSeco] 23-3-2009(77): In Japan gardeners use a scheme to protect trees by putting a bamboo belt around them.

4) [Danieru] 8-7-2008(25): I have trouble recalling this keyword, so I'm going to employ the mnemonic: the "Bamboo Belt Scheme." It's linked to a true story: In India, the gov't implemented a SCHEME to make use of the abundant bamboo belt in the north of the country. As compared to the hardwood trees there, bamboo is highly renewable and will create rural jobs in a push for 300% increase in bamboo production. There. Bamboo, not trees. It's in the scheme.

5) [narafan] 3-9-2007(13): The scheme was to capture him, tie him to a tree with a belt, and whip him with the bamboo.
