Donate Hair (Dog, Yours, Cat), Nylons, Etc. for BP Oil Spill

Sign up at Excess Access or A Matter of Trust, non-profits, and they will give you instructions on what items you can donate to help with this oil spill debacle.

Hair is used to create booms which soak up oil.

They can use nylons and hair: human and animal. So if your dog is shedding right now, put it in a bag, make sure it's debris free and clean, and sign up for free to find out where you can ship it. You can read instructions here, but you'll need to sign up (free) to get the address for your state.

One way this is used is to help clean up the animals/birds and line cages to soak up oil.
