I guess it's a personal choice, depending on how you feel. For me, I don't actually use that many and don't really like to include them in recipes for this reason. However, and again this is a personal thing, I think that the lifestyle we live is so much more sustainable, that I'm happy I'm doing as much as I can in all other areas; areas such as recycling, and use of lighting and electricity etc. This may seem like a convenient thing to say, to justify my consumption of cocos, and maybe it is...but I believe that some things in moderation (I haven't had a coconut in over a month!) are a justifiable pleasure when you're concious about it, and all the other parts of the puzzle. Hi Sandy,

I understand what you’re saying about the air miles and it’s something that concerns me too.

Every part of the coconut gets used for something where its produced and its organic.Unfortunately its not available in the health shop here though so it would have to be mail order.
