Gulf Coast oil spill fought with . . . human hair? | al.com

Two local women have a plan to save the coastline by building booms with human hair scraps to absorb the oil from the BP spill.

Liz Ann Howard-Alvarez of Mobile and Amanda Bacon of Point Clear have created a grass-roots effort to build oil-absorbent barriers filled with hair, either human or animal, as long as it's clean, they said.

"These booms can be used by local residents to shore up and protect their property," Bacon said.
