Your Invitation to PRC’s “Zero Waste Non-Event”

Posted on June 30, 2025 by Darren Spielman

SKIP THE GALA. SAVE THE PLANET.

PRC’s 2025 Zero Waste Non-Event — Where the impact is real…even if the event isn’t!

At Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC), we believe every action counts — especially when it comes to protecting our environment.  That’s why this year we’re inviting you to not attend an event.

No venue.
No catering.
No traffic, no plastic, no landfill-bound leftovers.

Instead, we’re hosting a Zero Waste Non-Event — a celebration of environmental impact without any of the waste.

BE PART OF THE SOLUTION

You don’t need a tux. You don’t need a ticket.

You just need a heart for the environment.

WHY A NON-EVENT?

Traditional galas generate thousands of pounds of waste: single-use plastics, uneaten food, printed programs, and decorations that end up in the trash.  At PRC< we think there’s a better way to celebrate progress — by continuing to live our mission of zero waste and sustainable solutions.

By skipping the gala, you help us to direct every dollar raised straight into programs that make a measurable difference for Pennsylvania’s environment.

YOUR GIFT. YOUR IMPACT.

When you support the Zero Waste Non-Event, you’re investing in meaningful, measurable action.  Your donation helps us to:

  • Divert millions of pounds of materials from landfills;
  • Protect Pennsylvania’s waterways;
  • Expand access to glass recycling and hazardous waste collections;
  • Educate thousands of residents and students about sustainability, recycling, and waste reduction.

In 2024, PRC:

  • Reused, recycled, or responsibly managed 2.7 million pounds of materials;
  • Eliminated an estimated 2,340 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions;
  • Reached nearly 4,000 students through hands-on environmental education;
  • Managed 6 million gallons of stormwater.

Your support keeps this momentum going.

Donate today to PRC’s Zero Waste Non-Event and show your commitment to a cleaner, greener Pennsylvania.  As a thank you, your name will be proudly recognized on our digital donor wall, across PRC’s social media platforms, and at our community education events throughout the year.

NO WASTE.  All IMPACT.
