Coconut Oil as Sustainable Resource

Did you know that coconut oil is taking off among the Pacific islands as an alternative to imported, costly and polluting, diesel oil. There are many benefits such as: lower emissions and toxic fumes than petroleum diesel fuel; smoother running engines; availability to the producer in remote areas to run machinery and generate electricity when the roads are cut off in the wet or prices are too high. Thus, according to www.peopleandplanet.net coconut oil is considered a sustainable resource.

At www.fiveaccessories.com we have found another use for coconuts. Through our partner in Bali, we are creating handbags made out of coconuts. Thus, offering eco-friendly designer handbags such as our brown coconut clutch, pictured below, one can 'look good and feel good' about what they are carrying.
