Celebrate Summer with ecoDelaware.com! This Saturday is a day of "firsts" for the First State. On one hand, it's the first official day of summer. And on the other hand, it's the first summer during which gasoline will average $4 per gallon or more. Fortunately there's a silver lining. This year marks the first official summer of ecoDelaware.com. This new website serves as a lifeline anyone can use to find outdoor events and destinations within a short drive. Please help us spread the word, and if you have the means, link it to your website today.The mission of ecoDelaware.com is to increase awareness, appreciation and, ultimately, environmental stewardship for Delaware's creeks, rivers, and estuaries. It was created by the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary using funds from the Delaware Economic Development Office. For more information, please read our previous press release, or call Shaun Bailey at (800) 445-4935, extension 113.
