LOS ÁNGELES, 22 de octubre /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- LA's BEST se ha asociado con el Consejo Norteamericano de Química (ACC, por sus siglas en inglés) por segundo año para reunir a miles de estudiantes para transformar su manera de pensar sobre el reciclaje y su salud. Los estudiantes de LA's BEST se embarcarán en el desafío "¡Viva H2O!" para aprender sobre los beneficios ambientales del reciclaje y la importancia de beber agua para tener un estilo de vida saludable.

"El programa de 2009 fue un gran éxito y todavía vemos a jóvenes llevando sus botellas de agua de "¡Viva H2O!" en nuestros sitios. Estamos encantados de ofrecer la oportunidad de desafiar, entusiasmar y educar a más de nuestros estudiantes sobre la importancia de opciones saludables y el reciclaje", dijo Carla Sanger, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de LA's BEST.

Ochenta y nueve escuelas de LA's BEST de la zona de Los Ángeles están participando en el desafío "¡Viva H2O!" desde el 22 de octubre hasta el 12 de noviembre. Los estudiantes tienen el reto de tomar una botella de agua durante todo el programa de LA's BEST cada tarde y aumentar sus conocimientos de reciclaje a través de juegos educativos y consejos. Para apoyar este esfuerzo, el ACC está donando a las escuelas participantes 15,000 botellas de agua de plástico reutilizable y está proporcionando los materiales educativos para apoyar las lecciones sobre el reciclaje.

"Trabajar con LA's BEST nos ha permitido ofrecer un programa educativo a más de 30,000 estudiantes. Estamos muy contentos de ser parte de una asociación que no sólo enseña a los jóvenes la importancia del reciclaje, sino también la importancia de hábitos saludables", dijo Steve Russell, vicepresidente, plásticos, del Consejo Norteamericano de Química. "Aprender a reducir, reutilizar y reciclar es una lección importante para todos nosotros y estamos muy contentos de trabajar con LA's BEST de nuevo este año para que los jóvenes se involucren y participen cuanto antes".

LA's BEST – Estudiantes mejor educados para el futuro - es un programa después del día escolar para la educación, enriquecimiento y recreación, reconocido a nivel nacional, que sirve a 28,000 niños con mayores necesidades y menos recursos en toda la ciudad de Los Ángeles. El programa de enriquecimiento después del día escolar de LA's BEST proporciona un lugar seguro para niños a partir de los 5 hasta los 12 años de edad en 180 escuelas primarias cada día durante las horas críticas después del día escolar – sin costo alguno para los padres. Fundada en 1988, LA's BEST es una asociación que incluye la ciudad de Los Ángeles, el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Los Ángeles y el sector privado.

El Consejo Norteamericano de Química (ACC) representa las empresas principales de la industria química. Los miembros del ACC aplican sus conocimientos científicos de la química para crear productos y servicios innovadores que producen una vida mejor, más sana y más segura. ACC se ha comprometido a un mejor desempeño ambiental, de salud y de seguridad a través de Responsible Care®, defensa de sentido común diseñada para abordar los temas principales de las normas públicas y de la investigación de salud y de medio ambiente y calidad de productos. La industria química tiene valor empresarial de 689 mil millones de dólares y es elemento clave de la economía de la nación. Es uno de los mayores exportadores de la nación, lo que representa diez centavos de cada dólar en exportaciones de EE.UU. Las empresas químicas se encuentran entre los mayores inversores en investigación y desarrollo. La seguridad y protección siempre han sido las principales preocupaciones de los miembros del ACC, y han intensificado sus esfuerzos, en estrecha colaboración con las agencias del gobierno para mejorar la seguridad y defensa contra cualquier amenaza a la infraestructura crítica de la nación.
