Then I read about using hair and pantyhose to help aid the cleanup process. Why is no one in Brevard doing this?? I did a little research, read articles "claiming" BP wasnt going to use hair in the cleanup process, read more articles saying they were. Then I came across Matter of Trust, a company based out of California that manages hair donations for oil spill clean up. They have warehouses all along the Gulf where boxes of hair can be shipped.
WHY HAIR???
Hair is THE most efficient material for absorbing oil -- that's why we have to wash it so often! Mats of human (and pet) hair, which naturally acts as a sponge to absorb oil from air and water are being used with oil spills.
Hair mats are created by filling pantyhose with hair clippings (both human and animal hair).
GET TO THE POINT- I am recruiting salons and groomers in the Brevard and Rosman area to donate their hair clippings. I will send all the hair donated weekly to Matter of Trust. I encourage everyone who needs a haircut or trim or is thinking of shaving their dog to contact me about donating that hair.
Send me an email info@kaeleedenise.com or give me a call 828-508-0928
This oil spill may not be directly effecting you now but it will at some point in the future in one way or another....
