Pope's WORLD PEACE DAY MESSAGE

Titled “If You Want to Cultivate Peace, Care for Creation,” Benedict’s World Peace Day message recommended:

* A new mode of calculating the cost of economic activity that would factor in environmental impact;
* Greater investment in solar energy and other forms of energy with a reduced environmental footprint;
* Strategies of rural development concentrated on small-scale farmers and their families;
* Progressive disarmament, including “a world free of nuclear weapons.”
