Gulf Oil Spill Response Booms--they need hair and other supplies!
http://www.matteroftrust.org/programs/natural.html


2010-present

A huge Nationwide response is currently taking place to help get hair boom to the gulf coast beaches in need. We have 12 locations spread out through Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida that are receiving hair. There are hundreds of volunteers having Boom B Q parties where they're making the boom.

Thousands are signing up to our database program Excess Access (free and fast) to be assigned where to send hair, fur, waste wool clippings and used nylons (washed, runs ok) for making the booms. Please see our Youtube for information on Hair Mats and Hair Booms!

2. I've posted before that I think we should all go bald until the mess is cleaned up
How cool would that be? I'm totally willing.

Bald is the new flag pin!

3. Ever since Menopause, I could probably suck up at least half the oil
in the Gulf with just the hair on my upper lip.


:cry:

5. They need fur?
I'm sure I could fill a trash bag with all the fur tumbleweeds my dogs have left all over the house.
