Haxwell rated 6 months ago- Thats fucking incredible. I love people.

- this is a great idea, especially if your hair isn't long enough for locks of love.

- Mycology seems to be a growing answer for many of our humanity's radio/toxicological waste products. This article details one method.

- cool and gross. I still think locks-of-love is a better idea though, it requires less hair :P

- Interesting idea, but not sure if it will catch hold in general society. There is a lot of hair cut, but I'm not sure if it's enough to clean up all the oil we spill around.

- "Hair, which naturally absorbs oil from air and water, acts as a perfect sponge… Once the mats are soaked with black gunk, oyster mushrooms will take over, growing on the mats and absorbing the oil… [National mushroom expert Paul Stamets] said the mushrooms will absorb the oil within 12 weeks, turning the hair mats into nontoxic compost… oeYou make it like a lasagna,” Gautier said. oeYou layer the oily hair mats with mushrooms and straw, turn it in six weeks, and by 12 weeks you have good soil.” The soil may not be good enough to grow carrots but is certainly good enough to use for landscaping along roads."

- Sounds wacky, but it works, so maybe it will catch on.

- So there's this San Francisco non-profit called Matter of Trust, which, as one of its many projects, collects human hair from thousands of salons across the country and sends it to Georgia to be woven into mats. These mats are then used to absorb used motor oil. The used, oil-soaked mats are seeded with oyster mushrooms, which thrive on and absorb the black gunk, and after three months the whole shebang can then be safely composted.
