Strolling through internet for oil spill clean up ideas, I found something old, but still very crazy scary. Darryl Carpenter who works at Florida-based CW Roberts Contracting, and Otis Goodson have invented a brilliant, but so simple way to clean up oil spills.
He told Goodson, “Can you fill a large pan with water and oil, then grab a handful of hay and stir it in? Strain out the hay, then call me back and tell me what’s left in the pan.” Strangely enough, this strategy worked. I mean the results were stunningly successful.
So why not hay for about 300 oil spills occurring a year? Doesn’t sound that bad AT ALL.
Here is the video.
