Themes of Chemists Celebrate Earth Day
The American Chemical Society (ACS) began celebrating Earth Day in 2003. Each year the ACS Committee on Community Activities chooses an annual theme to help give direction and variety to that year’s celebration. Chemists Celebrate Earth Day (CCED) theme names will not repeat, but they will rotate through the general topics of water, atmosphere, plants/soil and recycling. Although the materials below are from past celebrations, they cover topics that will always be relevant to chemistry and earth.
ACS offers a suite of events, contests and educational resources that can be used by ACS members, chemical educators, and chemistry enthusiasts to illustrate the positive role that chemistry plays in the world.
