    What irrates me about this video is how misleading it is: sorbent boom is not made for recovery, it is made for containment. The surface area is less, and it has a much lower absorption rate specifcally so that it will not "soak up" all the oil and soit will remain floating...A demo showing hair verses a synthetic menas actually designed for recovery (sorbent pad or roll maybe? Particulate?) would be a much more accurate demonstration...and a much less misleading video.

    This is BP sorbent boom, I checked on purpose. It's a good thing these BP's aren't for containment, would have been far more useless. Oil was sloshing under and over the boom far too easily for it to have any containment value. Containment booms have "skirts" that hang down 18 inches or so. And don't worry too much about nonprofits misleading the public about the benefits of synthetic oil based BP products. BP isn't a poor misunderstood company that needs your sympathy.

    even my six year old can see the difference and how much better the orange one is without being told

    and for you idiots who say "why donate if you do not cause?" for the same reason that the U.S. goes to bat for everyone else's war and poverty and sickness in other countries,  you selfish bastards!

    Arrrgggg!! Estúpida Humanidad!! Estamos como estamos porque no nos merecemos como especie vivir en este planeta y por eso lo devastamos. Venderles el cabello dice, porque no se merecen nuestra ayuda :/ Y quien dijo que era para ellos la ayuda? Es para la fauna y flora que está siendo dañada y para evitar que hayan más victimas de este desastre ocasionado por la dependencia QUE TENEMOS TODOS al bendito petróleo. La organización que lo está pidiendo es ecologista, no política! Qué Ignorancia!

    even i wanted to donate my hair...and i'm from germany. the problem is, that those who caused the problem (BP) are not those who suffer from it (eco-system, people who live there). making people responsible for something will not solve the problem. solidarity is the key, people!
