Proving yet again that its not just the Unitarians who can get their eco-act together...
The catholic church shows it can roll with the green crowd too!
Eartfirst regales us with a tale of a convent gone green.
To quote a part of the article: "It’s so great to hear about this sort of thing happening – and truly, how better to show gratitude for the wonders of nature than to be a responsible steward of the land and its resources?"
Grist finds a story about the vatican installing a solar array that will produce 6 times the energy that will be needed, with the excess being fed back into the grid. Admittedly, Ratzinger was not my favorite choice for Pope, but he certainly seems to be making an effort to break away from the iron fisted doctrinaire of his previous position.
Its nice to catch such notoriously slow acting institutions such as The Church moving forward faster than some so called pillars of western progress.

I am happy to hear this news. As someone who grew up in a very secular home, and was exposed to probably the most bad sides of religion, it has taken me many years to see the good in it. (Sorry for my honesty.)
Then I discovered the Unitarian church and those are some religious folks I can get on board with - at least the folks I know from the local chapter here (I've never attended their service, I just know the people.)
If we can get the organized religions on board of the "green movement" perhaps things can be saved yet - religion has the ears of a lot of people.
