Raw Material: Palm Branches —>> Finished Product: Broom

Palm BranchesThis morning, I saw all of these palm branches cut down from two palm trees🌴🌴. Immediately, my mind went into economics mode. I started thinking💭:

  1. Will all these go to waste?
  2. Can anyone not figure out a way to make these useful?

Then I remembered, brooms are made from palm leaves. So, I hoped that whoever cut these will be smart enough to sell them to traditional “broom-makers”.traditional broom

BUT!!!!! What disturbed me was the fact that I had to think for about 2 minutes before this basic knowledge hit me. Now, I wonder, “Will my children ever know that brooms can be made from palm branches since all we use in our homes now look like this?”broom
