Recently I watched a video about architect Michael Reynolds called "Garbage Warrior" in which he is shown creating homes from bottles, tires and many other materials that too often end up in landfills. This clip showcasing the beautiful Buddhist temple made with recycled bottles reminds me of Michael Reynolds' work.

Thai monks from the Sisaket province have used over one million recycled glass bottle to construct their Buddhist temple. Mindfulness is at the center of the Buddhist discipline and the dedication and thoughtfulness required to build everything from the toilets to their crematorium from recycled bottles shows what creativity and elbow grease can accomplish.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://greenupgrader.com/4262/one-million-beer-bottles-later-and-its-a-buddhist-temple/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/greenupgrader.com/img/5A185D17-230D-498C-B6A2-6E04BAFF81C8" alt="beer bottle temple" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://greenupgrader.com/4262/one-million-beer-bottles-later-and-its-a-buddhist-temple/"><P>The water tower and tourist bathrooms are even made from beer bottle litter.
