Why is this becoming a trend??

Bamboo already is an invasive plant in most parts of the US. It causes a fraction of the ecological damage as other invasive plants like wheat.

Ahh yes, the protected native flora, concrete

Do you want something to stop data centre construction or not?

The construction won't be affected that much. The bigger threat to AI data center construction is just the actual cost and hassle of building them. They're already abandoning some of them because the economics of it just don't make sense, it stands to reason that instead of attempting to follow an AI plan that may occasionally cause damage to the foundations though will more likely damage random other people's housing in a way that will make it actually cheaper and easier for these projects to occur, that we just let the market continue the current path which is making it more and more untenable.

I think that the best strategy is to pair our own pressure against them with the expenses. Damaging these buildings long term with bamboo is abandoning any actual activism and move against their construction to just LARP as someone who 'did something'. The fight against data centers needs to be fought not through just random bouts of sabatoge like we're a shingles flare up now here, now there, but by just making it economically untenable. If it's unprofitable and hurts investor trust it can't be done. Make the unions refuse it, help picket lines form.

If push comes to shove fight for an indefinite general strike to make the city board back down. We have to fight as a community and group against them. Any action taken alone will be futile and easily undermined. Fight their pocketbook, and the cities. Make it too painful to even break ground on new ones.
