SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A Spokane hair salon has been donating clippings to an organization that uses them in mats to soak up oil spills.

The Green Salon and Day Spa told The Spokesman-Review it ships about 35 pounds of clippings every few months to a San Francisco nonprofit called Matter of Trust. It uses donated hair and used nylons to make absorbent mats and booms.
