Getting
Congress to recycle...
|
|
|
The
United States Congress is perhaps the last major institution
in America to grapple with setting up an effective recycling
program. Congress has more than 20,000 employees, of
which 8,000 to 10,000 acutally work in Washington. So
the waste generated is like that of a small city, except
with a higher proportion of paper.
