Celebrate Aveda Earth Month

Support Our Work Protecting Maine’s Clean, Beautiful Waters

April is Aveda Earth Month, and in 2026 we are once again teaming with the Aveda Institute, Acapello Salons, and the Mensroom Salon & Lounce to spread the word about the importance of protecting Maine’s clean, beautiful waters. We encourage you to visit a participating location in April to support their fundraisers!

Your support stays here in Maine and helps protect Maine's clean waters by:

  • Reducing plastics and other trash that ends up in our lakes, rivers, and ocean.
  • Defending against polluters that try to weaken safeguards for Maine’s clean waters.
  • Stopping food waste that requires trillions of gallons of water.
  • Restoring Maine’s waterways and boost our ocean fisheries by removing obsolete dams from Maine’s great rivers
  • Learn more about this work.
