Congress is doing its part to go green and reduce greenhouse gases, as the Congressional Record will now be printed on 100 percent recycled paper.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the change Friday. “What we are doing now will reduce landfill waste, reduce 1.4 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions annually, support private industry efforts to develop new, environmentally-friendly technologies," she said.
How much all this will help, though, could change as the years go on_Pelosi noted that the government now prints only 4,130 copies a day of the Record, down 75 percent from 1995, thanks to the Internet.
