ADVENTURE: LAST YEAR an INTERGEN TEAM of Professional Scientists and Retired Executives.. CHARTERED A PLANE to one of the most REMOTE ISLANDS on earth in search of a large COCONUT. And then, to all of our delight, captured the joyful adventure in a form that will last forever, before turning this spirit filled mission into something that's now supporting science, communities, the environment at large - and inspiring all of us to think BIG, playfully.
