COCONUT AS FERTILISERThe government of the beautiful Maldives Islands nestled in the middle of the Indian Ocean has launched a project to tackle rising CO2 levels. Together with the UK based company, Carbon Gold, will be using "biochar", a charcoal made by bio wastes such as coconut shells. These shells are abundanent in the archipelago and will reduce costs from importing fertiliser from abroad. The Government plans to make the Maldives carbon neutral by 2020. The porposed project is set to be launched on three islands before it is carried over to other areas.
