Irish nuns bid to turn their monastery green
Newly planted energy crop Miscanthus grows on the grounds at St. Mary's Abbey, a monastery that houses an enclosed order of Trappistine nuns who grow the crop to burn for fuel in their biomass boiler which provides the monastery with heat and hot water, in Glencairn, Ireland November 23, 2021. The monastery uses green energy and sustainable farming to try to make itself self sufficient for both heating and food. REUTERS/Clodagh Kilcoyne
