Best Friends Helping to Clean up the Gulf Coast Oil Spill

Hair is very efficient at collecting oil out of the air, off surfaces like your skin and out of the water, even petroleum oil.  Products called Hair Mats and Hair Booms are made from hair and fur clipping to help contain oil spills.
Hair Clippings are especially needed now after this terrible oil spill in the Gulf.  As a pet grooming business we have a wonderful opportunity to help.  We will be saving the fur clippings from clean dogs and sending them to volunteers working with Matter of Trust, a nonprofit environmentsl organization.
