Re: fuel tanks dumped into Great Salt Lake

[Guest guest]

Use of mats made from human hair to absorb oil spills have been used

successfully for this purpose. The oil soaked hair mats are then

innoculated with oyster mushrooms, which break down the hair mats and

the oil to make soil.

Below is more information. The video linked to below is well worth watching.

A group of guerrilla volunteers is cleaning oil from San Francisco's

beaches using an unorthodox, albeit totally organic, method: human

hair and mushrooms.

Once the mats are soaked with black gunk, oyster mushrooms will take

over, growing on the mats and absorbing the oil.

Gautier said the mushrooms will absorb the oil within 12 weeks,

Gautier said, turning the hair mats into nontoxic compost.

" You make it like a lasagna, " Gautier said. " You layer the oily hair

mats with mushrooms and straw, turn it in six weeks, and by 12 weeks

you have good soil. "

The soil may not be good enough to grow carrots but is certainly good

enough to use for landscaping along roads, she said.

I just posted the news story for people who use Concentrace, and salt

from the GSL. Lot of toxic material ends up in the lake, and however

much they manage to clean up from this fuel dump, they won't get it all,

and some of it will inevitably end up in products from the lake.
