Chiang Mai, During the Buddhist Lent, many people travel to make merit by offering candles during the Buddhist Lent. But something unique and different is the eco-friendly Sangha Dana of the villagers of Don Kaeo Subdistrict, Mae Rim District, Chiang Mai, who brought plastic waste to donate to the temple after the abbot had a brilliant idea to use the plastic to produce oil for use in the temple, including as fuel for cremation. It can be said that it has many benefits, both reducing the amount of waste and making merit . Source: Thai News Agency
