We are all aware by now of the huge oil spill from the April 20th BP oil rig explosion, lurking off the Louisianna-Gulf Coastline.
In an effort to contain the spill, mats and booms are in place, but did you know what they are made of? Many are made of nylons, human and pet hair and stuffed into casings for the mats working to trap the oil.
So how can you help? You can individually donate your pets hair clippings or your human hair by signing up through the Excess Access program. When you complete their sign-up form they will send you an e-mail alert with information on where you can send your hair donations.
I think this is a great idea for groomers and hair dressers.
I am contacting my hair salon to have them sign up for this program. Think of all the human hair they have and just throw away.
If all of you asked just one grooming salon if they could sign up, or perhaps you could have your Girl Scout troop or Boy Scout troop have this as their "Green" project, this would be so great!
If you can spread the word, perhaps we can make a difference.
