DECEMBER CONSERVATION WORKSHOP SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED

Posted on November 27, 2020 by Pennsylvania Resources Council

In December, PRC will conduct a variety of workshops in webinar format that enables individuals living throughout the Commonwealth to take part in a free online Recycling & Waste Reduction webinar on Dec. 16, while residents of the greater Philadelphia and greater Pittsburgh areas can take part in a virtual Backyard Composting webinar on Dec. 2, 10 and 15.

“Since launching online learning in the spring, PRC has received a tremendous amount of feedback concerning how the webinar format is an extremely convenient way to learn from the comfort of home,” according to PRC Education Specialist Nancy Martin.  “And the online format enables individuals throughout the Commonwealth to take part since webinars require no travel to a specific classroom location.”

Participants in the Backyard Composting webinars will receive compost bins following the webinars.  Those living in the greater Philadelphia area will pick up compost bins at Rose Tree Park in Media, Pa., while those living in the greater Pittsburgh area will pick up their compost bins at PRC’s headquarters located on the North Side.

To register for a PRC webinar, visit prc.org/programs/webinars or call 412-977-6146.

 Thank you to Green Mountain Energy for sponsoring PRC’s conservation workshops.
