    Good essay but looks like an undergraduate project! Considering the technical value of materials as provided by nature is important. Burning a material as a waste is itself a wasteful process. Coconuts from coconut water as a drink to the hard kernel stage yields various food products. As the coconut matures, the kernel can be used as a food product, the fiber can be made into ropes and used for many uses, the hard shell can be pulverized and converted into particle boards, the palm leaves, the reeds, and the trunk can all be used in various ways. Engineering professors should undertake such wide ranging projects to help the economics of the rural communities.
