GPO Sustainable Environmental Stewardship – Good Business, Good Government – Annual Report 2008: “As the largest industrial manufacturer in the District of Columbia, the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) tries to be as environmentally sensitive as possible. This includes trying to be green in virtually every step of our pr int ing processes. GPO has a long history of recycling. For nearly 150 years, GPO has been recycling waste paper, copper, brass, and scrap metal. Since 1954, GPO has been recycling corrugated boxes. Other materials we recycle include aluminum, silver, photographic film, phototypesetting paper, empty paint cans, 55-gallon metal drums, plastic drums, CDs, floppy disks, and video cassettes. In this Annual Report, we will show you how GPO is taking heed of the words spoken by President Theodore Roosevelt a century ago. It is our obligation to be a good steward of the resources under GPO’s control. Sustainable Environmental Stewardship is good business and good Government.”
