Yes, you read that correctly.\u00a0 We have run across a new kind of filter, folks.\u00a0 This one doesn\u2019t quite match up to the \u201chuman<\/a>\u201d variety, but it comes close\u2026<\/p>\n

Thousands of hair salons nationwide have donated hair clippings to Matter of Trust<\/a> \u2013 an environmental organization that is involved in a project that collects hair and nylon stockings to make oil booms and mats.<\/p>\n

Each strand of hair has scales on it that attract and collect oil, which explains why most of us shampoo our hair daily.\u00a0 However, this basic fact has not just been applied by shampoo companies.\u00a0 The oil booms and mats made from salon hair clippings is now effectively being used to clean up the damage left by the recent Gulf spill.\u00a0 Hair is stuffed into nylon stockings that are dragged along the coast, sopping up oil which sticks to the scales, while the water filters out.<\/p>\n

Oil spills can do great damage to marine life, including the sea monkeys, oysters and other creatures that act as natural water filters<\/a>.\u00a0 Such an emergency requires a better remedy than bottled water<\/a>. \u00a0Here, we have yet another example of how water filtration is important to our lives as well as to the health of our environment..<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
