You’ve probably heard of the Guimaras Oil Spill, which is already the worst case of oil spill the Philippines has ever had. In fact, Western Visayas is already in a state of calamity and more oil is still leaking from the sunken vessel. :(

It’s hard that it seems like we can’t do anything…but WE CAN! How? Get a haircut? :)

[Excerpt taken from Yam’s LJ]

TV Patrol had a short clip about human hair as a solution for oil spills after giving news about the Guimaras catastrophe. This is very interesting. Did you know that around 1.4 million pounds of hair can ‘adsorb’ (not absorb, but adsorb - 11 million gallons of crude oil?! Just think how all the salons in the country can help out. Even barbershops. (I’m serious about this) This is a non-expensive, very feasible way of helping out.

Someone just died today from inhaling too much of the fumes from the oil spill.
