Comments on: What’s the Green Pope Been Up To? http://redgreenandblue.org/2009/04/12/whats-the-green-pope-been-up-to/ Patriotism that loves our country, our land, and our planet Wed, 23 May 2012 01:08:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Anna http://redgreenandblue.org/2009/04/12/whats-the-green-pope-been-up-to/comment-page-1/#comment-52504 Anna Wed, 29 Apr 2009 11:16:47 +0000 http://redgreenandblue.org/?p=2935#comment-52504 I'm been working with the Jesus Trail for about a year now and your article does not accurately reflect the Jesus Trail project. The Pope is not visiting the Galilee in any connection to the trail. Also, the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel did not lay out the trail, they were involved only in painting and maintaining the paint blazes, as they do for all official hiking trails in Israel. While marking the trail will hopefully lessen the impact of hikers on the environment, the trail was designed with the goals of building bridges between people, serving as an economic stimulus to disadvantaged areas, and connecting people to the natural world. The trail was an independent project by two friends, an Israeli tourism specialist and an American outdoor specialist. All of this and information about hiking the route are available at <a href="http://www.jesustrail.com" rel="nofollow">www.jesustrail.com</a>.

We simply are too many people in too small a space. I respectfully submit that the most important environmental move the Pope could make would be to encourage birth control and population reduction.
