I was on StubleUpon when I found this link. It shows pictures of a Buddhist Temple that was created entirely out of recycled beer bottles. The article says it took over one million bottles to build the temple that is located in Khun Han near the Cambodian border.
I thought this was really cool and pretty ironic. People don't usually associate drinking and religion, but I thought this was a really neat way of sustaining the planet and making something useful. The pictures of the temple are incredible and I was impressed by the artwork created by the beer bottles.
I really like the temple, but I wonder if other people will. I could see how some people may even find it to be offensive to pray in a place made out of beer bottles. I believe this was incredibly creative and it makes me wonder if this will inspire architects to build more sustainable buildings/reduce existing pollution in the places where they are making these buildings.
