Green Tip of the Day

RECYCLING BODY PARTS

Give your kidney, to someone in need. Become an organ, blood, or even hair donor and, recycle your body parts. Every 2 seconds, someone in the United States needs blood; others need new organs to stay alive.

Donate your hair to charity; Locks of Love and Wigs for Kids - these organizations create wigs for kids with cancer with donated hair (note: it's gotta be at least 10 inches long).

See if your salon wants to donate hair for use as mats to absorb oil spillage (no, really).

St. Baldrick's Foundation - hair too short to donate? Head to one of this nonprofit's shave-a-thons.

American Red Cross - locate a nearby blood bank and give.

Donate Life America - find out how to donate your organs (or just sign up to be a donor with your local DMV).
