The Chicago ACS Section is committed to becoming climate positive. Each year ACS and the Chicago Section participate in Earth Week.  Even though we should care about the Earth all year, it is highlighted in April.  This year the celebration will be from April 18–24 and the theme is:  “Reducing Our Footprint with Chemistry.”
One of the thing the section will be doing is doing a carbon pledge.  This pledge is to get everyone to start thinking about our use of items that contribute to the carbon footprint of the Earth.  Please join the commitment by making a pledge for a Carbon Free Day (or month) to reduce carbon emissions.  Let’s look at our carbon footprint more closely.  As a section and community, we strive together to find innovative ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Find out how you can fight climate change directly with a few simple changes your Carbon Free Day.
Choose from transportation, food, and energy pledge categories or create your own. With so many options to choose from, everyone can find a new way to reduce their carbon footprint. Be a leader in the fight against climate change - collectively we can make a difference.
