Glass Blowing Event and Cullet Education
The Senior chemist committee sponsored a glassblowing event on October 5,, 2019 at Hudson Beach glass in Beacon New York. Ten senior chemists were offered a free opportunity to glass blow their own ornament of choice. There was education about glass and colors of glass and everyone enjoyed touring the gallery and store with a 10% discount. As a service to clear glass recycling efforts, six small glass recycling boxes were given out to members willing to go to restaurants, community centers, or schools and educate those places specifically on glass recycling. They would collect clear, colorless, clean glass to be collected and sent to a cullet processor. This saves 40% energy then making glass from sand. Glass recycling by sorting color is not done to any great extent.

Senior Chemist StoryCorps
Senior Chemists in the Mid-Hudson ACS were asked "What is your fondest memory as a chemist?" and their oral responses were recorded. Here are the responses from some our section members. StoryCorps is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind. Since 2003, StoryCorps has collected and archived more than 50,000 interviews from more than 80,000 participants. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to share, and is preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. Millions listen to their weekly broadcasts on NPR’s Morning Edition and on StoryCorps’ Listen Page.
