Gulf Oil Spill Donation Update
June 10th, 2010
Thanks to all our caring stylists and clients for showing overwhelming support for our hair collection program and being committed to making a difference in their communities. Because of you, Ratner Companies, with the help of Fedex, has been able to ship six thousand pounds of hair to the Gulf Coast. Matter of Trust, the nonprofit organization that makes hair booms and mats that soak up oil, has warehouses full of hair booms ready to be deployed if needed.
We have learned that, at this time, BP does not intend to use the hair booms to help clean up oil in the Gulf. However, we have been assured by Matter of Trust that they will be used to clean up less disastrous oil spills that occur with great frequency in the US.
On behalf of the Ratner Family and all Ratner Companies' associates, thank you for supporting this effort to protect and preserve our environment in the face of this eco-catastrophe.
