    STRAW MAN # 1

    By JOHNNYCOLT  |  Posted June 10, 2010  |  Walton County, Florida
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     JOHNNYCOLT interviewed Darryl Carpenter, the man who came up with the idea of using hay to absorb oil. 'Darryl is a great example of an individualist and a man that's self-sufficient. He's a creative thinker that’s come up with a couple of great solutions,' Colt said.
    - zdan, CNN iReport producer

    All Darryl Carpenter wants is BP and the Coast Guard to give him a chance!

     

    In this episode of LIFE ADDICT...

    Johnny Colt interviews Darryl Carpenter.

     

    Darryl has become a YouTube sensation. His idea for using straw to clean up the oil spill has put him at the forefront of creative solutions for BP's epic oil disaster. Colt (recently in Florida after visiting Grand Isle) had the opportunity to catch up with Mr. Carpenter and talk in depth about the oil spill, his ideas for solutions and the well-being of the Florida coastline.
