Environmental news from Delaware and the surrounding region.
The mission of the Delaware Environmental Institute (DENIN) is to conduct research and coordinate partnerships that integrate environmental science, engineering, and policy in order to provide solutions and strategies that address environmental challenges. DENIN serves as an advocate for sustained strength and vitality in pioneering environmental research. The institute focuses on research areas relevant to the challenges facing the state and the nation, and institute research informs decision makers by providing the knowledge that can help create sound environmental policies.

The institute's goals are to initiate interdisciplinary research projects; support interdisciplinary academic programs; forge partnerships among government agencies, nonprofits, industry, policymakers, and the public to address environmental concerns; and coordinate and sponsor signature events and programs that provide opportunities for interdisciplinary interaction.

Moving Out?
Don't take your normal route, take the DUMPSTER DETOUR!!
Thursday, May 17th – Wednesday, May 24th
Dumpster Detour is a student run project taking place from May 17th – 23rd to collect reusable items from students moving out of their campus residences. Any student wishing to donate their items to families in need, instead of just throwing away the items, can simply drop off their donations at the drop–off sites! Moving trucks will be located at Rodney and George Read. Look for the Orange Banners and moving trucks!
Dumpster Detour volunteers will take your unwanted and reusable items to the UDon't Need It student move out site where they will be donated to local families in need. (details)
