Big Round of applause for MatterofTrust.org, requesting hair salons all over the nation to donate nylons stuffed with pet and human hair oil boom clean up effort. www.MatterofTrust.org, gleaned the idea from a TV show on Bravo and 6 months ago started collecting Nylons. It was intuition about a potential oil spill catastrophe that lead them to start asking hair salons all over the country to chip in hair from everywhere. Matter of Trust was already in divine leadership to start a national campaign to collect nylons to save the wildlife and beaches.

We here in the Bay Area know how moving [no pun intended] it is, when we have an earthquake, then to join hands of neighbors we probably never met, and then BOOM! Crisis ensues, and it’s the ones you’ve been feet apart from and never spoken too, who then graciously count on you and you for them, to provide whatever is needed in those frightening moments.

The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans is accepting donations of nylons, hair and fur on behalf of Matter of Trust (www.matteroftrust.org) to create booms for the oil spill.  Louisiana and millions of Gulf residents are once again teaching us that crisis reveals the most honest, sincere part of us. It’s where Doing green and Being green divide.

“The fishermen and farmers are important to our livelihood; says Char Thian from Ritz Carlton - New Orleans. We want to let them know that we care. In honor of being green, M Bistro Restaurant in the Ritz, New Orleans is the only restaurant in the ‘Big Easy’ to have a compost program.  They also have something called R.E.A.C.T.; it is a team of employees that meet monthly to find ways to make The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans more energy efficient and eco-conscious.  Every little bit counts.”

If you’re emotional about the spill and will not stand down until you see changes NOW from the White House, Earth Day Network will mirror your frustration and offers where to go and what to do with all the emotions on the issue to make necessary regulation changes. If you’re an optimist about America’s future, you’ll hear that tone from the leaders of Louisiana on the front lines of this disaster.

You might be surprised how some of  New Orleans constituents seem patient with the Government and BP’s response to the oil spill.

Smart Green Travel presents an interesting perspective for us here in the Bay Area, 2000 miles away from the spill.
