The recent disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is beyond tragic for the wildlife and the residents of the region. Our hearts go out to those who rely upon the fishing industry in the coastal areas, as this disaster comes slowly ashore.
If you're sitting at home wondering what you can do to help -- there is something you can do for this important environmental cause. You can go to the salon and get a haircut.
Matter of Trust is a charity organization based in San Francisco that collects human and animal hair clippings and converts them into oil-absorbing hair-mats. The hair clippings are stuffed into recycled nylons, creating hair booms. These booms are then tied together and used to encircle and contain oil spills to keep them from spreading. For more information on the cause, check out the video below and visit the Matter of Trust Web site.

This administration has gone crazy! I am so ashamed! All the money they spent on Home land Security, and this is the best they can come up with? They should have spent less time on body scanners, and camera in our childrens laptops and more on saftey before the decide to drill. I can't wait until election day to cast my vote and get them out of there. May the Lord have Mercy On Us.
