Many are unaware that cow's dairy is one of the most water intensive foods. Globally the dairy industry uses 5% of the earth's fresh water.
If you substituted 1 pint per week of dairy ice-cream with a coconut-based alternative once a week for a year, you will save enough water to fill 126 large bathtubs.
(This is about 38,000 litres.)
Coconut trees can also filter out carbon dioxide, which helps reduce greenhouse gasses.
