The Beer Bottle Buddhist

GreenUpgrader.com brings us an article about Thai monks from the Sisaket province that have used over one million recycled glass bottle to construct their Buddhist temple. The Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew temple is about 400 miles northeast of Bangkok in the city of Khun Han close to the Cambodian border. Using Heineken bottles (green) and Chang Beer bottles (brown) the monks were able to clean up the local pollution and create a useful structure.
