Chemists Celebrate Earth Week (CCEW)
CCEW encourages ACS members and science enthusiasts to build awareness of chemistry at the local level. ACS local sections, schools, businesses, and individuals are invited to organize or participate in events in their communities with a common goal: communicate the positive role that chemistry plays in the world.
CCEW celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2018 with the theme "Dive into Marine Chemistry." This was the largest celebration of chemistry and the environment yet! The CCEW 2018 edition of Celebrating Chemistry and other online resources are available below.
CCEW 2019 will be celebrated April 21-27, 2019 with the theme, "Take Note: The Chemistry of Paper." The CCEW 2019 edition of Celebrating Chemistry and other online resources will be available on February 1.
