**Byproduct or product, what do you see?**

Enactus students in the Philippines saw a way to **turn coconut shells into an alternative fuel for street vendors**. They helped 10 vendors raise their incomes an average of 113%. **Learn about the project's impact on carbon emissions at <http://enactus.org/seeopportunity/project-gallery/project/byproduct-product-see/>.** #seeopportunity
