I’ve been so up-set about the oil spill in the Gulf. I really didn’t know that there was anything I could do to help with the clean-up, that’s so out of control.
One day I was just looking on the internet, and came across this web-site, matteroftrust.org.
They went into detail on how hair was very absorbent. They said that they collect the hair and put it into recycled nylon and turn them into Oil Spill Containment Booms. These booms soak up and retain the oil.
I was so excited to hear this, because I have a lot of hair. (I own a Salon.) So I decided right then and there that I was going to start collecting it and send it away to be used in such a way. However, I’ve put it out there that I’m doing this and haven’t really had much response. Hopefully, that will change.
I really feel that we all have to do our part in helping to clean this mess up. If it weren’t for the high demand that we put on oil, we wouldn’t be in this mess. You’d think that with all the technology we have in the world, we would have a total alternative by now that didn’t require one to be a millionaire.
