What is Earth Day?
Earth Day was first officially recognized on April 22, 1970 as a way to demonstrate support for a healthy environment, raise awareness about environmental issues, and remind people that we all contribute to a sustainable planet.
What is Chemists Celebrate Earth Week?
For years, chemists have been promoting a better world through recyclable plastics, cleaner-burning fuels, phosphate-free detergents, environmental monitoring, and green chemistry initiatives. To promote the positive role that chemistry plays in the world, ACS established the Chemists Celebrate Earth Week (CCEW) public awareness campaign. During CCEW, ACS members and chemistry enthusiasts celebrate by coordinating events and communicating the importance of chemistry.
CCEW 2020 Planning Resources
ACS will celebrate Earth Day through CCEW 2020 from April 19-25 with the theme, "Protecting Our Planet through Chemistry." ACS and Earth Day Network are creating resources and programs to support ACS members and chemistry enthusiasts in joining the campaign.
Resources will be available on February 1, 2020.
