Matter Of Trust Needs Your Hair

An organization called Matter of Trust is collecting human hair and dog hair/fur to stuff into nylon booms that can be used to soak up oil from the spill in the gulf.

Seriously.

Watch this video:



Go to Matter of Trust for more information on getting your hair clippings and your dog's clippings to them.

They will also take wool from farmers.

I love this!

  1. There is Do Dah Dog days in Birmingham AL this weekend and they are asking all dog owners to bring in the hair/fur that their dogs have shed and will have a brushing out station as well. It takes over 11 pounds of hair/fur to fill one leg of a pantyhose to make an oil soaker. One of the panty hose manufactures has donated a huge amount of pantyhose to make these soakers with, All they need is the hair/fur. Human hair works just as well as dog fur.

  2. Amazing how this works! I will definately contact our local groomer to see if I can add my dog fur and hair to theirs. Thanks for the link!
