Vatican Neutral

This week a top Vatican official issued a pronouncement saying that... the Pope is going Green?

The Vatican plans to be the world's first carbon-neutral sovereign state by offsetting its emissions through planting trees in Hungary, a top Vatican official said Monday.

He said that although the Vatican's emissions were low, it "wanted to do its bit to fight pollution on earth and to contribute to improving the planet that God gave to humans so that they could be the servants of nature and not its masters."

There have been times when the Pope may not have agreed with everything Working Assets has stood for. But on issues of protecting our planet for all of Earth's inhabitants, we're happy to be on the same side.

Join the Vatican in saving the environment by switching to a Working Assets phone plan. If you do, we will offset your carbon emissions for an entire year!
