Matter of Trust

26 May 2010 - Most will follow the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. A San Fancisco based non profit organization Matter of Trust started a campaign to collect human hair and pet fur, as they understood hair was used to stop the oil. In response, hundreds of beauticians and barbershops all over the US swept the floors of their salons, wrapped the hair in plastic bags and shipped them off to warehouses in the affected area. However, BP and the US coastguard have now issued a statement saying they are not using hair to sop up the oil., and do not plan to do so. Matter of Trust said the hair was there if it was needed, but it was asking new participants to wait for alerts before sending more hair to the Gulf. Bottom-line, never trust an organziation calling itself Matter of Trust?
