'Tis the season for shedding. All those of us who have dogs know that around this time there's plenty of excess hair lying around. What do you do apart from compost it? You could help the Gulf of Mexico.
It's true, booms made of old nylons and hair can soak up amazing amounts of oil. An organization called Matter of Trust is collecting hair and nylon stockings to make booms. Any hair will work, human, dog, cat or polar bear. (The shelter does not advocate travelling to the Arctic to comb polar bears. Any polar bear hair is collected at your own risk.)
You can drop off the hair at Kutters, 309 Wood Street in a plastic garbage bag. They are also accepting old nylons for the booms.
The BBC's website has an interesting article in their magazine regarding this, http://www.bbc.co.uk/
