In some research I found out what how the actual coconut is sustainable in design. I would have never thought of it but the almost hair like material on the exterior part of it is actually used for packing material, and insulation. I would assume that it would take a lot of them to insulate a house but if you think about it, for where these trees grow, mostly in a tropical environment, a house wouldn't need that much. Now, in order to get the material off, you need to peel off the external skin and pull it appart until you reach the core, which contains the milk. Just another thing that this tree has to give for the community it grows in.
