What’s waste for many can be gold for others. Farmers from Northern Samar and Bicol are learning how to turn the lowly coconut husk into a major source of income, with the help of non-government organizations in the area.
Veronica F. Villavicencio of the Peace and Equity Foundation explains how Filipinos can make money from coconut husks. Watch this video that I took during a recent Good News Kapihan press conference.

I think this is GREAT! I am all for people using environmentally safe ways to make money and to use something for a great purpose like this that would have been thrown away or just composted?More power to them!!! :0)
We all should try to come up with more solutions like this so we can make the world a better place :0)
