Rep. Sturla's newsletter is recyclable

Rep. Sturla's newsletter paper is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC; http://www.fscus.org/paper/) certified for responsible forestry. Recyclable paper was used in the past, but it became costly because it created too much waste due to its inconsistency on the press. Thus, the paper was switched to FSC-certified.

The FSC logo is not on the newsletter because it requires certain fees that would be counterproductive to cost-saving measures.

Rep. Sturla does use recyclable paper for his letterhead.
