BOSTON (AP) – Paper products disposed of during the first day of the Democratic National Convention will be recycled into posters within 24 hours as part of a comprehensive environmental plan announced by convention organizers Thursday.

The posters, which will tout the Democratic Party’s commitment to the environment, will be distributed to delegates the next day after being created at the Haverhill Paperboard Mill.

The party is also purchasing renewable energy credits to compensate for the electricity needed at the FleetCenter and the media work buildings during the four-day convention, which runs July 26-29.

Convention organizers have also committed to:

• Having a 250-kilowatt fuel cell power plant on site to provide clean energy to the FleetCenter.

• Obtain greenhouse gas reduction credits to offset carbon dioxide emissions attributed to the convention.

• Use recycled white paper in all of their office operations and media work stations.

• Donate leftover construction material to local non-profits and low-income homeowners in the Boston area.

• Use hybrid pickup trucks and buses donated by General Motors.

• Donate unused food from the convention and related venues to hunger relief agencies.

• Use confetti made from recycled paper and biodegradable balloons for their celebration.
