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.

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

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