Use hair to 'save' the Gulf of Mexico

Fearing that the amount of oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico is increasing, affecting the Louisiana coast, many voluntary barbershops donate excess hair to absorb oil.

Many hairdressing salons and beauty salons have stuffed strands of hair into plastic bags to form 'hair bubbles', placed in areas where oil spills occur. Surprisingly, only 0.45 kg of hair can absorb about 5 liters of oil.

Efforts to collect hair to spread the oil were stirred up after BP, the owner of the rig, exploded, revealing the cost of sea cleaning has skyrocketed from $ 5 million to $ 9.91 million a day.

The hair curls are compacted in plastic bags to absorb oil.

The "bizarre" plan was carried out by the Matter of Trust charity. This measure was used when more than 260,000 liters of oil leaked from an oil tanker in San Francisco Bay in 2007.

The Matter of Trust organization has received over 200,000 kg of donated hair. Wood, fur and fur are also encouraged to contribute.

Here are some pictures of "rescuing" the Gulf of Mexico from the oil spill disaster:

The well, a device to block oil, was released into the sea yesterday, with the aim of blocking hundreds of thousands of liters of oil leaking into the Gulf of Mexico.

The inside of the compartment is used to store oil deep in the ocean floor.

The US Coast Guard uses a method of burning oil to prevent oil from spreading.
