What happens to my hair when you get it?
Matter of Trust uses hair/fur/fleece donations in several ways. Fibers are felted into mats on site, at partner hubs or they are stuffed into sheaths such as donated nylon stockings or burlap coffee bean bags to make booms.

Mats are used by hazmat teams in oil spill cleanups and by public works departments in storm drain cages to keep motor oil drip spills out of waterways. Booms are best for encircling spills or “sandbagging” a beach to keep sands clean during high tide. Mats, booms, and loose fibers are also used in classroom oil spill clean up demos to promote the education of sorting waste into resources and the importance of clean waterways.

Rahul Gupta saw a river-cleaning material. He's been collecting it, pressing it into mats, and dropping it into Gurugram's most polluted drains through his initiative, Kesakambali—and an independent lab test says it's cutting sewage contamination by nearly 87%.

No electricity. No chemicals. No crores of government funding.

Sounds unbelievable? That's exactly why CNBC-TV18's .anand19 went to find out if this is the pollution solution India's rivers have been waiting for—or just a very compelling idea that hasn't been tested enough yet.
