Hello, hello, welcome to high brow. How is everyone doing today?

Daylight savings happens, so I feel very refreshed.

I love when we fall back, so like another hour.

Though I did go to a ab workout class this morning, which I highly regret.

Not because I'm anti-exercise or anything.

Like, it was probably really good for me, but it was hard.

It was really hard.

And I'm fearing for my abs tomorrow because I know, you know, when you just like work out

and you know it's going to hurt tomorrow and then the next day it's like you just can barely move and you

can't laugh and everything's painful because you're so out of shape. That's what's going to happen

and I'm fearing for my life for it. Anyways, today, I have a lot to talk about today, but before we

get into the main discussion, I do want to share a listener email that I

received. That was pretty interesting. This is from Mathis. Hey, hey, Mina, I loved your podcast

episode this week on the creation of fiber produced out of hair. Well, I actually know about a

different type of usage for human hair that is sustainable

and cleans up our oceans.

There are one or two organizations to which you can donate your hair or the leftover

hair from your hair salon, for example.

They then use these collected hair masses and press them down or weave them, I'm not sure,

but they basically create a mat that is then used to clean out oil from the ocean.

Because the human hair mat, this is such a funny word combination, can absorb a ton of oil which helps to make the ocean cleaner.

I'm so fond of this project because it is such a crazy but clever idea, and I thought you might be interested in it, given your interest for hair fiber.
