Description

Small Act of Green Rebellion: Donate your hair to clean up oil spills.
Lisa Gautier, Founder and President of Matter of Trust, tells us about how hair, textiles and fur can be used to help soak up oil before it ever reaches the ocean. Since 1999, Matter of Trust has been making hair mats that are used in industrial settings and to help remove oil from the environment. These hair mats are then broken down by worms into usable compost, so it's completely green and renewable.
