The ACS-GHS once again joined the Discovery Green Earth Day in Downtown Houston on April 25, 2026, as part of Chemists Celebrate Earth Week. This year’s theme was "Into the Woods with Chemistry", highlighting the chemistry of trees and forests. To help deliver and promote the theme, we had an informational section educating visitors about the importance of trees to our planet and human life. We also had an experiment for visitors to our booth where they could create their own tree using materials like moss and wooden sticks, and we handed out giveaway bags to visitors containing ACS educational materials and goodies. In addition, visitors were able to take their tree to go!

Volunteers from the University of St. Thomas ACS group came to help at this year’s event. Huge thanks to Kiresha (Reese) Johnson for organizing the day, and to our event volunteers for helping make this a phenomenal event!
