>> mike: is this used in the gulf yet? >> we have got people on the shores down there talking to people we met with b.p. yesterday. they are putting it in testing to see if it's used. >> mike: i say we just tested it. tell them it's okay. use it. get it down there. >> notice how quickly it put the oil up. doesn't have to sit there for a long time. >> mike: there was talk at one point, phil, people were sending hair in, stuffing it in pantyhose and the e.p.a. said wait, we haven't tested that. >> right. what happened was i got some press back in 2000. and the salons around the country heard, saw it on tv. i'd come home every day and have boxes of hair from anchorage alaska and i live in north alabama. a non-profit organization in california called matter of trust, started by a woman who picked up and we let her have the hair so they could use that to clean up the oil spills. i was out there in 2007.
