ACS Celebration of Earth Day
• Pilot celebration in 2003: “Chemis-TREE”
• First full celebration in 2004:
– “What Do You Know About H2O?”
• Themes have rotated through earth-friendly topics
– Air
– Plants/Soil
– Recycling
– Water
• ACS provides full range of resources for each theme.
13
CCED Collaborations
• Because Earth Day is celebrated by so many groups
in almost all parts of the country, it is a perfect event
for collaboration.
• You can use this as a way to connect with other
environmental groups in your area
• Gives environmental dimension to chemistry
• Can connect through the Earth Day Network:
www.earthday.org
14
Complement to NCW
• CCED is ACS’s second largest outreach event
• Those groups who already celebrate NCW would be
prime partners for CCED
15
Additional ACS
Environmental Connections

science: www.acs.org/climatescience
• ACS Committee on Environmental
Improvement

Why do outreach?
Mission –
•
To reach the public,
particularly elementary and
secondary school children, with
positive messages about chemistry
•
To make a positive change in the
public’s impression of chemistry
•
To promote a mechanism for
effectively mobilizing ACS local
sections
•
To motivate the ACS
membership through local section
activities
18
Our Earth: Handle With Care
• For the 10th
anniversary we
highlight the four
themes: air, plants/soil,
recycling, and water

around understanding
and taking care of the
Earth and its
resources
