Grace Through Turning Off The Lights?

This has got to be one of the stupidest statements I've read in awhile (ok, since the woman cardinal story yesterday). I can't even believe this story was even published as a serious Catholic news story, in the first place.


For another Jesuit school, Boston College, the impetus to reduce energy consumption and become a sustainable campus comes from its Catholic mission, said Jack Dunn, the director of public affairs at the college.

Boston College saved more than a million dollars last year after it launched a campaign to reduce energy consumption. Managing Boston College's effect on the environment, Dunn said, is an effort students have joined.

"Students at Catholic colleges realize that they are being called upon to develop their God-given talents and use them in the service of others," he said in a telephone interview with Catholic News Service. "And one of the greatest challenges that we face in our future is protecting the earth."
