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.
