So Melissa Chu moves to Hong Kong (a jet airplane flight) and takes many trips,to India (all on jet airplanes) and then seems,to reduce her “carbon footprint” a miniscule amount by making cloth out of some,ridiculously waste streams.

Who says labs aren’t insane.

But she’ll probably make a fortune selling the same snake oil crab shells to gullible buyers.

I worked at a site and met the owner of this company - he is developing the wasted outer shell of the coffee bean (thrown out now) and milling it to make “coffee flour”. The stuff he offered me was delicous.

Belliveau: Every year billions of pounds of coffee cherry fruit, a by­-product of green coffee production, are discarded or, to a lesser degree, composted into fertilizer. Rather than leave these cherries to rot in heaps or be dumped into rivers, CoffeeFlour uses a proprietary method to convert the cherry pulp into a nutrient-dense ingredient that can be used for baking, cooking, mixing drinks, and crafting chocolate. This is how CoffeeFlour is made.

The result is an incredibly nutritious and distinctly flavorful cooking ingredient, with more fiber per gram than whole grain wheat flour, more protein per gram than fresh kale, more potassium per gram than a banana, and more iron per gram than fresh spinach.

CoffeeFlour makes the most of a food source that we already have and are not using to its fullest potential.

Exactly right.
