These Buddhist Monks really love their beer … bottles!

beertemple1Now here is something you don’t see everyday.  This is a temple located in Northeast Thailand that is constructed with over 1.5 Million recycled beer bottles.  What do you all think? I think I may have to build myself a Man Cave in the backyard completely out of bottles. I wonder how that would hold up to some of the local storms here in Florida. Anyway this is a great way to recycle and you have to give these Buddhists some serious KUDOS!

Have any of you folks used your empty beer bottles or beer cans for anything unusual? Any ideas on other things we could use beer bottles for?

They ask local authorities to drop off used beer bottles which they then recycle into new structures! What a great way to keep these bottles from going into land fill.

Abbot San Kataboonyo stated, "The more bottles we get the more buildings we make!"

Even the bathrooms are made from these bottles.
