CCEE on a Pilgrimage

CCEE, the European Catholic Bishops conference is on a pilgrimage from Eztragon in Hungary to Maria Zell in Austria. I am attending the the pilgrimage as one of two invited guests from ECEN network.
Yesterday we was on an excursion to a bio diesel factory in Komarom on the border between Hungary and Slovakia.
It is really encouraging to witness the rising interest to act and to think over the issues that relates to the on a broad level to sustainable development. The bio diesel plant was an example that we can do a lot with the technique we have and recycle what we used in a much more efficient and sustainable way.
But if you think that bio diesel is the solution that will replace oil it is not an option. The option now is to start thinking in a different way. We have to think of a future with less use and more efficient use of energy, energy coming from all kinds of renewable sources, not only one or two. This thinking projects another way of living. A much better "another way of living" and if churches should do anything it must be to give visions of how we can live a good life together on this earth. I hope that this pilgrimage will inspire the catholic bishops to come up with a multitude of visions of a new sustainable life for all of the creation
