Coshell coconut charcoal is made from coconuts, not wood. It produces a cleaner and better tasting flavor and results in less ash. This product does not contain harmful ingredients such as char dust, saw dust and limestone. It also does not contain petroleum and it doesn't have that ammonia like smell. No trees were cut down to make Coshell charcoal.

Category name

I feel that a better name for this category would be Category:Environmental issues. Alan Liefting 20:54, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure what to do with this category. I added several articles the other day with it as "threats" -- cars and such -- because I like that cars fall into the category of "environmental threats." If it became issues, it might be a lot like the category of "environmental subjects." Maybe the whole thing can be merged into a single environment category. I mean, the most useful thing seems like a link at the bottom of every imaginable page you could click on to pull you back to a nice, long category page.

"Environmental threats" is quite an emotive heading and limits it to some of the more serious issues. The list of environmental issues is a good start for guidance on what sort of articles should be added. Like many other categories it must be watched so that the boundaries are not pushed by the addition of irrelevant articles. -- Alan Liefting-talk- 04:46, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
