Could Your Business Organize an Environmental Project?

Most any area in Delaware could find an environmental project to do that would improve the neighborhood. Residential areas are not the only places that need remediation, recycling and cleanup. Could your business organize neighboring businesses to try to make a difference?

If enough of your business neighbors are interested, perhaps you could organize a community group to seek a grant so you could do even more than you can on your own.

Here are some examples of groups that received Recycling Assistance Grants from the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control recently for recycling projects;
