CHED 75 |
| Chemists Celebrate Earth Day is an outreach program of the American Chemical Society developed to enhance the public's awareness of the contributions of chemistry to our everyday lives and the nation's economy, as well as to showcase chemistry's value in sustaining a healthy planet. This program, in its fourth year, is a joint effort of the ACS Committee on Community Activities, the Committee on Environmental Improvement, and the Green Chemistry Institute. In 2006, a record number of local sections took advantage of the resources made available though this program. Members carried out hands-on soil-related activities, sponsored a K-12 illustrated haiku contest and challenged college students to create a video. The unifying event was entitled: "Plant It for the Planet". This poster will also look forward to Chemists Celebrate Earth Day 2007 with the theme: “Recycling – Chemistry Can!”
