We were all saddened by the Gulf oil spill that took place this week. Regardless of your opinion about drilling for oil in the Gulf, many wish they could do something to help. Well, now you can!

The Matter of Trust is requesting people send...wool! Natural fibers, like wool, human head hair and dog fur clippings, can sop up oil both on shore and in oil booms. The organization provides specific directions on how to prepare and package the fibers for shipping.

This is something easy we can all do to help clean up this tragic mess. I hope you will consider sending in some extra wool, dog hair clippings, and hair from your most recent haircut.
