Congress will begin printing the Congressional Record on recycled paper, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday.

This will definitely save a few trees as the Government Printing Office churns out 4,130 copies of the record every day. Pelosi says the move will reduce landfill waste and cut out 1.4 million pounds of pollution annually. The record includes every single word spoken on the floor of the House and Senate the prior day.

In making the announcement, Pelosi recalled how copies of the Congressional Record were stashed under her brothers’ beds so her father, five-term Democratic congressman Thomas D’Alesandro, Jr., could read them.
