Hair donations needed now for oil spill cleanup!
RIGHT NOW, you can help with cleanup operations in the gulf by getting the message to your neighborhood salons and pet groomers that hair donations are needed!
Hair donations, pet groomers, wool farmers and individuals alike are being asked to send hair donations, fur clippings and nylons to Matter of Trust for the makings of hair booms and mats to help in the oil spill cleanup. Donated hair, fur and wool are stuffed into nylon hoses (booms) that are then used to soak up and trap the oil. Brilliant!
“Hair Donations Help Clean Up the Oil Spill”Warehouses have been donated and set up all along the gulf coast. Matter of Trusts says, “A delivery address in the Gulf will be emailed to you. We’re not posting warehouse addresses on the web, because we’re coordinating how much goes where. All along the Gulf Coast new harbor depots are being temporarily donated to this cause. We’re doing this in WAVES (now on WAVE 8) due to the unprecedented surge of donors signing up every hour!
They’re coming in from all over the US as well as Canada, UK, France, Spain, Germany, Turkey, Australia…! It’s an international philanthropic community phenomenon!
Check out the latest video of what hair donations as well as fur, wool, nylons and funds are doing to help the cause:
Phil McCrory, a hairdresser from Alabama made the discovery that hair was a material which would be resourceful for collecting and containing petroleum spills. Since 1998 Phil’s company Ottimat.com has been producing hair mats made from recycled hair purchased in China. Ottimat has partnered with Matter of Trust to coordinate an International Natural Fiber Recycling System. They have been successful at stimulating green jobs and the textile industry!
