Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6%. Estimates are that the remaining forests could disappear in less than 40 years. Yet approximately 80% of the developed world's diet originates in the tropical rainforests. Some 70% of the plants that are active against cancer cells are found in the rainforest. Preserving the rainforest intact and harvesting its many plants has a greater economic impact than if they were cut down to make grazing land and its timber used. |

Papal Message for World Day of Peace - January 1, 2012
The Catholic Church begins each year with World Day of Peace, a day set aside for prayer and reflection. In this year's address, Pope Benedict XVI asks that the coming year be marked concretely by justice and peace. He specifically asks that young people be educated in justice and peace, first by the parents as well as by formal educational institutions and teachers. He speaks to political leaders and the media as well, reminding them of their role in education. |
