Any ideas on how to jump start this idea to help the oil spill?

Share your Idea here: http://www.refresheverything.com/ Say that you ar planning to use that money to buy artificial hair or you would use it to pay the Salons for leftover hair daily. If you only ask for $5,000 there is good chance you will win.

That's a great idea... As for who to contact, go check out news reels and listen for names of who is taking on the cleaning responsibilities and contact them through any means you can. I'll do some research, see what I can figure out, too.

You can submit a letter, also, regarding your desperate desire to to help. Ask what you can do from where you are. If you find out that you CAN help, then maybe we can organize a nation-wide movement of hair collection. Who knows, we might actually be able to help. I've been wanting to do something, too, but have been unable to come up with any type of ideas. Thanks so much for the motivation.

Contact the health department first about issues they may have about your collection of hair.
