Coconuts

I really enjoyed the talk on the various uses of coconuts; I had always believed that coconut oil was really bad for you, so it was really interesting to hear that it was only hype put out by the vegetable oil makers. I think it's a great idea to try and use such an available resource to help villages around the world gain a better quality of life. The idea of using the husk to make building material sounds really viable, and if the coconut oil could be used to fuel cars and electricity, it would really make a big difference in the lives of those in the countries on the equator. All of his ideas to use coconuts sounded like they would be fairly simple to implement in these countries, and would help these villagers tremendously.
