http://www.matteroftrust.org/programs/hairmatsinfo.html (NOT A REF LINK) im sure you all know about the oil spill that is going on in the gulf ocean that is endangering so many animals and totally messing up our environment etc.. there is a place that is taking donations of money, human head hair (any length. even a small trim) animal fur, feathers, and nylons to make these pillow type things that they put in the water that soaks up the oil. so im asking anyone that is due for a trim or their pet a trim or has old nylons and feather pillows to please consider this as something to do for the gulf since no one seems to be helping it! and if you know anyone working in a salon maybe let them and their salon know and see if they will donate to it.. my husband buzzed his head for it and i got a few inches and my hair thinned out for it and shaved/trimmed my dog and got an old feather pillow to ship off to it.. have you ever done anything like this to donate to a cause? know some people to locks of love which is great.. would you be willing to do this or spread the word? or are you hoping some one in the government will take over sometime soon?

Indeed, it is a good cause. I've been reading about this problem and I know it is really causing a lot of problem. Will check out the link and see what I can do. Thanks for the info :)

cool thanks!! i think right now they are needing nylons more but are telling people to collect hair and the rest and they will say when they are ready for it (they send out so many packet things to the water at a time so i guess they are backed up on everything but nylons but know they will need it soon) so im just gonna pack the box up and as soon as i see they need it drop it in the mail.. im sure this wont be cured quick so im sure they will be needing more soon
