Earth Day 2007 Chemists Celebrate Earth Day Earth Day 2007

As part of Chemists Celebrate Earth Day 2007 and in recognition of its theme, "Recycling - Chemistry Can!", the American Chemical Society sponsored an illustrated haiku contest for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Students were invited to produce an illustrated haiku poem demonstrating the theme "Recycling - Chemistry Can!" that would reflect some aspect of the chemistry of recycling: materials, processes, or uses for recycled materials. (Click here for more information and the results of the ACS National competition.)

Local ACS sections were invited to run the contest in their areas. The North Jersey Section participated, and the winners are shown below. Scroll further down or click on names to view the winning entries.

Congratulations to our winners!   And thanks to all who participated!
