Hudson Daybreak Rotary Recommends Slow Mow Summer Danielle Vogler-Bos, with Hudson Daybreak Rotary Club, is still helping bees in Hudson.

Hudson Daybreak Rotary, Fire Dept. Want Your Lithium-Ion Batteries Lithium-ion batteries are in our phones, laptops, tablets, even electric toothbrushes. The lithium-ions are becoming more prevalent as battery types such as alkaline fall out of style — and these new, chargeable batteries present waste and fire hazards. Hudson Daybreak Rotary and the city’s fire department have a solution: the two formed a Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling, where area residents can turn in their devices with lithium-ion batteries they no longer use on April 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hudson Fire Department.

Rotarians build ‘clean’ stoves in Guatemala
In Julianna’s kitchen, a pot of dried corn bubbles over open flames. Her makeshift stove is a wood table fireproofed with layers of dried mud. For Guatemalan women like Julianna, the days begin and end with crackling flames that spew ash and blacken the corrugated metal walls. Cooking is the primary job of indigenous women in the country’s villages. And it’s killing them. |
