This is primarily about how waste coconut husks are made into high-value products that are environment-friendly - and, more important, how this labor-intensive process provides employment for thousands of families in rural communities. It also describes our clean-burning stove that runs on waste rice hulls and other agricultural waste products.

Hi Ma'm Perla,
Do you think the US can use our coconets in absorbing or cleaning up the oil spill?
God bless you po for your inspiration!

Is there a way we can copy the technology of making the green charcoal? I am from Legazpi City and Albay Gov. Joey Salceda's advocacy is green technology (aside from climate change). Hope we can copy the process so it can improve the livelihood of poor Albayanos. I know they make it in Laguna, but I dont know if they make it in the Bicol Region.
