A non profit organization called Matter of Trust is collecting donations of clean hair and fur of all kinds to clean up the oil in the ocean. Hair is hydrophobic which means it repels water, it is also great for absorbing oil (greasy hair means that hair collects oil). So Matter of Trust has volunteers making devices called hair mats and hair booms out of recycled hair and nylons- which are then placed in the water to soak up the oil.
This is a great opportunity for us to help in this time of crisis! Our furry little 4 legged friends are helping those on the coast! So when you book your dog or cat for a groom, we are going to be donating the fur to Matter of Trust. Now is a perfect time for the furry ones to come in for their "summer do's", why not help out a good cause! Thank you for your help with this!
Here is video that was posted on youtube.com explaining what they are doing from Matter of Trust!! Also here is their website: http://www.matteroftrust.com/
