HAIR. THE QUICKER PICKER-UPPER?

IN HONOR OF EARTH WEEK, HAIR STYLISTS ARE DONATING HAIR CLIPPINGS . . . TO CLEAN UP OIL SPILLS???

In case you didn't know, next week is Earth Week. And I hope you'll do your part to save the planet . . . by getting a HAIR CUT.

Confused? I'll explain . . . Next week, almost 100 Paul Mitchell Hair Stylist Schools will be donating HAIR CLIPPINGS gathered from haircuts to a non-profit environmental group . . . called Matter of Trust . . . which will be used to help clean up OIL SPILLS. I know . . . it sounds crazy. But if you get enough hair clippings, they can be woven together to create "hair mats", which . . . apparently . . . are great for cleaning up oil spills.

A woman named Lisa Craig Gautier founded Matter of Trust. She says that just ONE POUND of hair, "can soak up a quart of oil, and it can be wrung out and used up to 100 times, as long as there's no sand in it." (--Who knew?) (Green Biz)

You can donate your hair clippings to Matter of Trust here . . . http://www.matteroftrust.org/
