Oil spills are a big threat to marine biodiversity. But one novel way to clean oil spills is to use hair. Etchel and her team created a program to both collect hair and increase awareness of oil spills for citizens in their city, Manila. This initiative would include several activities. First, they would create learning materials such as comic books and brochures, featuring a fictional character named Craboo, containing stories and factual information about oil spills and their impacts on marine biodiversity to increase the awareness of both the younger and older generations. These materials will be distributed to communities within Metro Manila, especially to hair salons and barbershops, since they are the expected primary contributors of hair. Next, they will collect human hair from hair salons and barbershops that are willing to participate, from donations from the general public, and from free haircuts in the Metro area. Then, the acquired hair will be sent to the team’s partner organization that is working to mitigate the effects of oil spills in the country.
