Mind, bottle & soul
The saying goes "Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones," but there's no corollary for those who live in glass temples. Then again the monks at Thailand's Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew temple should be able to throw stones; they've earned their fair share of good karma by recycling over 1.5 million glass bottles, incorporating them into the premises as walls, railings, columns, and they've even used the bottle caps to make mosaics.
As you'd expect from monks, the construction wasn't exactly a rush job-- these patient gents have been at it since 1984, and counting. More incoming bottle donations means they can build more structures.
