The PA Resources Council has extended the deadline for nominations for the 3rd Annual Western PA Zero Waste Event and Business Awards.  The deadline for nominations is now January 26.

The Awards recognize those who recognize those who adopt and utilize strategies to achieve Zero Waste including waste avoidance, reuse, recycling, and composting.  They include--
