Haircuts that clean oil spills.

Did you know you can donate your hair to Matter of Trust and help soak up the Gulf oil spill? According to this Matador article, one gallon of hair can soak up a quart of oil in a minute. It makes sense that hair would be natural and effective at collecting oil; that’s why we shampoo. Watch this fascinating demo:

"Last year, 2,600 oil spills happened around the world. Keep collecting your hair and pet fur, frequent salons and groomers that donate, and ask your local salons and groomers to donate if they don’t already."

Supporting environmentally-friendly transit AND seeing a great concert for free.

This great organization soooo needed to exist in Los Angeles.

The Tour Rider initiative addresses the chronic problem of traffic congestion and the subsequent environmental pollution that results from gridlock traffic at large venues for concerts, festivals, and other events

A Tour Rider is someone who carpools, uses Park & Ride programs, or takes public transportation to a Tour Rider sponsored event. Tour Riders receive an array of perks that may include access to VIP ticket lines, private music showcases in shuttle parking lots, and/or a Tour Rider gift bag with exclusive band merchandise, music, accessories, t-shirts, magazines, video games, tickets to local museums and venues, and other popular items.
