BALD is the new GREEN: Want to help the Gulf Ecosystems? Shave your head.

I'm not kidding. Cut off your hair and send it here: http://www.matteroftrust.org/

So they can do this: http://articles.sfgate.com/2007-11-14/news/17270165_1_lisa-gautier-hair-mats-motor-oil

National mushroom expert Paul Stamets was in town the weekend after the spill for the Green Festival, heard of Gautier's work and donated $10,000 worth of oyster mushrooms to harvest on the oily hair mats.

Gautier said the mushrooms will absorb the oil within 12 weeks, Gautier said, turning the hair mats into nontoxic compost.

"You make it like a lasagna," Gautier said. "You layer the oily hair mats with mushrooms and straw, turn it in six weeks, and by 12 weeks you have good soil."

The soil may not be good enough to grow carrots but is certainly good enough to use for landscaping along roads, she said.


I'll shave my 30 inch long hair off completely, if I can get 50 other people to do the same. (and no...I won't take your word for it. I'll need documentation.)

2. They take animal fur too. So shave your.....cat and dog.

Okay, don't shave them, just get the winter sheddings and collect them. Or tell your groomer about matteroftrust.org
