Holy Helio Harnessing!

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.

God Says Go Green

Ok, not exactly but a growing number of religious leaders are urging their flocks to lifestyles of more deliberate stewardship. Grist has the top 15. Nice to see a good number of Catholics representin'. Who says all that guilt cant be put to good use!
