Dance School Collects Nylons For Oil Cleanup

The Lorraine Judd Dance Center, 156 Roosevelt Drive in Seymour, is collecting old tights and pantyhose Matter of Trust, a non-profit collecting clean, used tights or nylons to help clean up the Gulf oil spill.

They can have small runs in them. Tights are sent to volunteers who stuff them with hair, fur or waste wool to create booms. 

These booms are then placed in heavy plastic netting and put into the Gulf where they attract and absorb the oil. 

This method is very effective for helping to remove the oil.

We have a donation box in our studio for anyone who would like to contribute.
