Environment-friendly Community Church from Recycled Beer Cans Coming Up in Scotland
People started working on the ambitious plan after being advised to do so by the Minister of Colston Milton, the Rev Christopher Rowe.
Apart from empty beer cans, the church is also raising money and collecting more materials for the environmentally friendly building.
The Scottish Climate Challenge Fund has already funded 42,809 pounds for a study of how the "economically and ecologically sustainable" kirk can be built and maintained.
The need for a new building has arisen because the old church has been sold off.
The hall where the Church of Scotland congregation currently worships has an "astronomical" heating bill.
"There are loads of things which could be used for this project, old drinks cans, earth, wood, old car tyres, rubble from demolished buildings, car windscreens, the list goes on and on," the Telegraph quoted Rowe as saying.
"A wonderful group of men and women who drink in the woods got inspired by the idea when I was telling them about it, so they started bringing their empty beer cans to the manse to use in the new building."
"In a conventional building project all the money goes straight into the pocket of big construction companies. I want the money we raise to go to build, not just a building, but the local community.
