David if you can let me know a link for a company that sells the bags you are referring to - I will be pleased to add a link for them here. If no link is available I could add the name here for people to look for them. If you have a hub or make one about this sometime I will link to it. I have some clothes that have buttons made from coconut, I think natural products like this are not only beneficial they are attractive too. Thank you David for the interesting info. in your comment.

In South India, the making of hemp is a total village enterprise. There It comes from a Coconut. Group 1 - youngsters - pick them. Group 2 - stronger men - pull off and pack the husks. Group 3 splits the nut and drains the milk for drinking and cooking. The cocnut meat is cut from their shells by Group 4 and preeerved for food. Group 5 grinds the shell for later use as a building material. The hemp bundles go to Group 5 - a 4 person team, who pull it into strands, tieing the ends to about 20' strands. Those are hand turned while they are beng spooled on a bicycle wheel run by a small motor. The "woven" hemp is sold to make hawsers for ships. The entire village shares the profits and we noted the kids all go to school; there was a literarcy rate of 90%. The money earned also paid for college schiolarships for the brightest students. Talk about entrepreneurial enterprise. So, yes indeed BUY THOSE BAGS; you're helping small village economy wherever coconuts are grown. David Russell
