Congress Green Meeting Champion

Rep. Allyson Y. Schwartz, D-Pa., is the prime sponsor of the Green Meetings Act (HR 3037), which requires that the federal government, as a whole, adopt the Environmental Protection Agency's standard of taking vendors' environmentally preferable features and practices into consideration when purchasing meeting and conference services. She took time recently to talk to us from her Capitol Hill office about the Green Meetings Act and other environmental issues.
