Chief Administrative Officer Dan Beard unveiled his Green the Capitol final report to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D,CA) on June 21, 2007. The final report includes all of
ASLA’s recommendations for sustainable practices for site
conditions for the U.S. Capitol, the House Office Buildings, and
the Capitol grounds. ASLA recommended sustainable practices
for stormwater management, water efficiency, biodiversity, expanding
tree canopy coverage, and maintenance practices. In December 2007,
a six-month
Green the Capitol report card was released, illustrating
the quick start for lasting changes to make U.S. Capitol Complex
more sustainable. ASLA and its recommendations
in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Green the Capitol Initiative
were discussed during debate on the floor of the House of
Representatives in June 2007. During debate of the Legislative
Branch Appropriations bill, Congresswoman Linda Sanchez
(D-CA) attempted to offer two amendments based on ASLA’s recommendations
for creating green roofs on the House Office Buildings and for using
tree canopy coverage in the House parking lots.Click
