Louisiana Needs Your Hair!
Hair clippings can be woven into absorbent hair mats
If you’re a dog groomer or a hair stylist, your excess hair and fur clippings can help to clean up the Louisiana oil spill – and other oil spills that happen around the world.
The hair (which must be relatively clean and debris free) will be woven into mats, or stuffed into nylons to create ‘booms’. The booms help to contain oil as it sits on the water. The mats are used to soak up oil, and as crate liners for oil soaked birds and mammals.
