via /buddhists/... [very strange as the post is nether about Buddhism or is /b/ material ( recent example)]
Vatican make Polluting a sin
Edit: from another article:
The "sins of yesteryear" - sloth, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, wrath and pride - have a "rather individualistic dimension", he told the Osservatore Romano, the official Vatican newspaper. The new seven deadly, or mortal, sins are designed to make worshippers realise that their vices have an effect on others as well. ... According to Roman Catholic doctrine, mortal sins are a "grave violation of God's law" and bring about "eternal death" if unrepented by the act of confession.
...
Mgr Girotti said genetic modification, carrying out experiments on humans, polluting the environment, causing social injustice, causing poverty, becoming obscenely wealthy and taking drugs were all mortal sins.
Recycle or go to Hell, warns Vatican

Also bah, I slept about 13 hours after stumbling in last night... Arg.
