Every living creature, from the smallest protists to large elephants, grows lush facial hair. Creatures spend a large part of their days trying to trim it down only for it to grow again.

Since hair takes 1-2 years to decompose, discarded hair continues to build up. Some of it is burned, but that leads to other issues

Sounds like it could be a good carbon capture strategy. Just need to turn it into biochar so it lasts a couple thousand years instead of a couple years.
