The green coconut is used only for its water. But it still has lot of oil in this. On maturity of coconut, this oil becomes the coconut oil. In the green coconut, however, this oil is not easily recoverable, but it burns very well and has good calorific value. In south India, they dry these shells, sometimes make pellets out of them and burn them for cooking. I have seen these coconut shells being thrown away in most cities in Northern IndiaAnkushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11767957146687798974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249051293021812885.post-55015795574282479872011-06-06T03:33:40.834-07:002011-06-06T03:33:40.834-07:00"We pass by the streets every single day but ..."We pass by the streets every single day but we fail to notice a lot of things - one of them being the plight of many underpriviledged and deprived children who roam about in tatters, malnourished. Some of the child ragpickers go to school and work the other part of the day or during holidays. Some girls are found working as ragpickers in the morning, sometimes attending school in the afternoon and coming back home in the evening to help their mother with the household chores<br />or to care for their younger siblings. The plight of these kids moved me to work for their bright future and thus I happened to join: http://www.jaagore.com/project/teachers-rag-picker-project. Here, one can teach the rag pickers and thus allow them to be enabled towards a bright and hopeful future. The children thus won't be deprived of a good life and can be given a right to dream.
