I have got to share a little “did you know” with you, and it’s going to change your food life and make you feel like a superhero!

There is this amazing app called Too Good To Go and it’s making huge waves in Portland, Maine.  

Here’s how Portland's Too Good To Go App Works 

Get this, according to Portland Old Port, each year over a third of the worlds food goes to waste. What does this do? Well it causes 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. That’s not good for our environment.

This app is working to change that by helping people save extra unsold food from local spots like, Gross Bakery, Ruby’s West End, Coffee Me Up, Brickyard Hollow Brewing Co., and more. They gather and pack up there day’s leftovers into what’s called a “Surprise Bag.”

It's easily downloadable and you can navigate it seamlessly.

The best part is that you know exactly what you are getting, and it’s heavily discounted, which is amazing because to be honest, we are all super strapped for cash right now.

So customers get great food at a much lower price and support a more sustainable future.

The B-52 Memorial Site of Maine's Elephant Mountain

Just south of Moosehead Lake lies a memorial that some may not know about. The memorial is a short hike in, right on the southern slope of Elephant Mountain in Piscataquis County.

The memorial is the crash site of a B-52 Stratofortress that went down on a training mission in 1963.

The site is now a popular hiking destination for folks to learn of its history and to pay respect to the seven men who lost their lives that fateful day.

A thank you to Erin from Norway, who took these very powerful images of the site, and allowing us to tell the story through her work.
