A boat made of garbage between San Francisco and Sidney observe the state of the ocean paciique.
The Plastiki is a 60-foot catamaran skipper by eco-British adventurer David de Rothschild. It is constructed with recycled PET plastic bottles collected.
The Plastiki will promote the recycling of waste. His trip will sail from San Francisco to Sydney. De Rothschild was initially inspired by "Great Pacific Garbage Patch", a giant pile of waste floating in the Pacific, composed mainly of parts and pieces of plastic. It is in the northwest Pacific, about a thousand miles off the coast of California and covers a vast area of several hundreds or thousands of miles into the ocean.
Rothschild has spent the last years to the development of Plastiki
with "a handpicked crew of eminent scientists, adventurers, and creative". They are about to set sail, and you can follow their online travel ..
