  1. Fred Hollows built something remarkable but its future is under threat
    By Catherine James and Rachel Kelly

    Sixty years after Fred Hollows ventured into the outback to save the sight of thousands, a devoted team of specialists fears the life-changing work he started might not survive if governments cannot see past a funding blind spot.

    Come Celebrate Earth Day in Saco!

    April 24 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

    "Registration is NOW OPEN!

    Each year, the Saco Parks & Recreation Department offers an opportunity to bring the community together to clean up and prepare the local green spaces and parks for spring and summer! It is now more important than ever to focus on our green space, clean energy, eliminating waste, and becoming an eco-friendly community.

    "#ecomaine is proud to be part of this year’s celebration! Stop by our table at the #SacoCommunityCenter at the start of the day to pick up #recycling resources, meet our education team, and learn about the sustainable waste programs available to Saco residents. At the end of the cleanup, we’ll be weighing the trash collected from parks, trails, and open spaces across the city so volunteers can see the real impact their community made together.

    "Looking to get involved? Join your neighbors to volunteer in Saco and help clean up and prepare local parks for spring and summer. Duties include #TrashPickUp, #weeding, #mulching, raking, and more. This event is (light) rain or shine!

  4. For the next time, you will see a lot of #grannies because it's the theme for our International Festival Of #Wool And #Yarns starting on Friday.
    Today, we had exactly zero visitors in our museum. 😒 But it gave us enough time for preparations, eating cake, and chatting. And yes, some grannies are made by me. 😊

  7. "Forced #human #experimentation is a thing of the past!"

    Correct! Why need forceful human experimentation when you can #financially manipulate #people into #volunteering? That way #humanrights arent taken at least on paper.

  11. “Leave it better than you found it,” is a good motto to take with you on your next journey, near or far. If there's a tourist destination that could use such visitors, perhaps it's Hawaii. A year after the devastating Maui fires, the need to reshape how visitors experience the islands has become more apparent. Fodors.com writer Tykesha Burton took a trip there and came back with these tips for practicing “regenerative travel.”
