The Northeastern University Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society (NUSAACS) has now been recognized as a Green Chemistry Chapter for two years in a row.  An important factor in the achievement of this recognition is the strong community and campus outreach, which NUSAACS has integrated into annual events. Many of our student members create and conduct interactive activities at the Boston Museum of Science's annual Earth Day celebration.   Also, on campus, an Earth Day activity for potting plants is being held annually.  This event spreads awareness about proper ways to reduce, reuse and recycle; along with providing the students with herbs and flowers to plant for themselves.  Finally, the speakers brought in to chapter meetings, such as Dr. Berkeley Cue and John Warner, educate members about the importance of being chemically green in the lab.  Being recognized as a Green Chemistry chapter is an important acknowledgment for NUSAACS.
