Everyone is mobilizing to Boom the Gulf!


Fur clippings donor "Alex" does his part ..................A Boom Mountain - Ft. Walton Beach, FL

We shampoo because hair collects oil. So do feathers, fur & fleece clippings. Why should millions of pounds of these absorbant, renewable, natural fibers go to waste every day when we have a huge oil spill to clean up? And did you know that there are 2600 oil spills a year?

Boom grids, Weeks Bay, AL ........ Oil plume comes up to us fast on Orange Beach, AL 6/24

Now Let's Boom And Deploy
July 2010 - Our donated Gulf Coast WAREHOUSES ARE CURRENTLY FULL thanks to you all! In May and June, hundreds of thousands of boxes of hair, fur & fleece clippings were sent into our 19 donated warehouses in the Gulf. See our Photos. There is no room to accept any more boxes at this time and don't want to see any boxes returned. This spill is a marathon not a sprint. Oil will be coming in for months and years.
