MIT has developed a "paper towel" made of nanowires to clean up oil spills. It even recovers the oil.

I have recycled paper towels, are you happy?

oh and... I can let them use the hair that comes out of my comb in the shower, that'll sop up a lot of oil.

lol. That actually sounds like a good idea. I could do it too. If everyone sent in their hair we'd have so much! We might have to start a hair collection to go with the trash and recyclables colections.

Honey, did you take out the hair bin? It's hair day tomorrow.
