Pope Urges Catholics to Go Green
It's one of the many issues uniting progressives and the faith community. Today Pope Benedict XVI made his second appeal on environmental issues in four days before an audience of about 16,000.
"Protection of water resources and carefulness toward climate change are issues of the utmost importance for the entire human family," he told the crowd.
This follows his address to "300,000 Roman Catholics at an environment festival in Loreto, Italy." The event has been called "Save Creation Day."
The Vatican is already planning to become carbon neutral and started installing solar panels on the roof of the main auditorium.
