HOW YOU CAN HELP NOW
See if your Public Works Department can use donated gutter booms.
It's a little silly to drill for oil to make oil-based synthetic booms to soak up oily run-off from streets after storms. Especially when there is so much recycled material for gutter booms.
Please help us find the end users the way you all brilliantly created the recycling system for hair, fur & fleece immediately following the Gulf Spill.

FAQ Answers to your Frequently Asked Questions
WAREHOUSES IN THE GULF ARE CURRENTLY FULL
Thanks to all of you, since May over a hundred thousand
boxes, bags, truckloads and envelopes of hair, feathers,
fur & fleece clippings were sent in to our 19 temporarily
donated warehouses in the Gulf. See our Photos.
There is no room to accept any more boxes at this time
and we don't want to see any boxes returned. We are consolidating warehouses and we need space to work.
WE NEED HELP CREATING GREEN JOBS
Thanks to you, we all know that recycling hair, fur & fleece is possible in the US and beyond. Now we need to find end users for the products people can make with these fibers. Bilge pads are a good example of a product.
We want to find marinas and boat owners that can use them and help us all design them. Please let us know if you're in need of these team@matteroftrust.org We are joining with partners to perfect a widget from local donated resources that produces local jobs.
