Greening the Capitol

Speaker Pelosi and Members of Congress announced the next steps for the Green the Capitol initiative at a press conference this afternoon. Speaker Pelosi explained:

Eighteen months ago, the House Democratic Leadership launched our Green the Capitol initiative, our commitment to reducing the Capitols carbon footprint and make our operations more energy efficient.

Today, on Earth Day—which is a time to recommit ourselves to protecting our planet and our future—we can announce that the House has reduced its carbon emissions by 72 percent—a remarkable achievement for the Congress.

The Capitol, which serves as a beacon of freedom, is also now a shining example of sustainability. We hope other large institutions will learn lessons on greening from our experience.

Our next step in reducing carbon emissions is to help Members reduce their personal offices carbon footprints and energy use. I thank my colleagues who have committed to this effort and also Chief Administrative Officer Dan Beard for overseeing the Green the Capitol initiative.

The Green the Capitol initiative is just one way in that Congress is honoring the tradition of Earth Day and helping protect our planet.

Greening is a natural process when you huge amounts of manure. Pelosi and her clown posse are the single largest producer of excrement in the United States.
