Chemists Celebrate Earth Week

As we reach the end of #CCEW, we’re trying to fine-tune our policy coverage of climate change–what subjects are important to you, dear readers? What coverage would you like to see more of? Less of? #ChemistsCelebrateEarthWeek #chemsky 🧪

Metalplant farms nickel instead of mining it The phytomining start-up is using plants to extract nickel from Albania’s soil

Diana Kruzman went to Albania to talk to the startup Metalplant. They're growing flowers instead of mining nickel that's crucial for #EV batteries!

Sustainable week’s dedication:
A topical, yearly summation
With views interfacial.
This April’s theme: glacial,
In spring season’s chem-celebration!

A cartoon-like poster from the American Chemical Society promoting "Chemists Celebrate Earth Week". The poster depicts images of antarctic-living animals frolicking in the ocean and on icebergs. Among them are seals, killer whales, and penguins. In the lower left of the poster is the ACS logo and its slogan, "Chemistry for Life". In the lower right appears "American Chemical Society". The text at the top and center of the poster reads, "Chemists Celebrate Earth Week, April 20-26, 2025, #CCEW, Glaciers: Hot Topic, Cool Chemistry."

Join the annual community-based program #ChemistsCelebrateEarthWeek, established by the American Chemical Society, 20-26 April 2025. #CCEW unites students, businesses & schools with the #ACS in communicating the positive role that chemistry plays in the world #EarthMonth www.acs.org/education/cc...
