What do coconuts grow on then?

 

Ship coconut shells half way round the world and then tell the locals it’s eco because it’s not a tree. Vacuous horseshit.

Cover it in fire retardant to make it safe for shipping across the globe

On arrival in UK treat it with propellants and bag into "self lighting" bags

I didn't know that but not at all surprised. If you've ever cracked open a coconut shell; it's an extremely hard material. Much harder than wood for instance.
