Plastiki, setting sail!

On the 23rd of March 2010 the plastiki set sail for a 11,000 journey from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia. After 3 years of building and designing the boat which is made of 37,000 recycled bottles has finally set sail across the pacific!. You may think this boat doesn't have much to it well you thought wrong this boat is very high tech with an extra cabin. The boat is very well equipped for the journey. Extra things they have put on are  solar panels, a wind mil and a hydroponic vegetable garden which provides the crew with vegetables.

David de Rothschild decided to build this boat because he wanted a different way of people to look at using and recycling plastic bottles. So he built this boat entirely from that idea.  He also wanted to build the boat to help the pollution problem in the world.

I think this boat was a brilliant idea because ive always wanted to find out a way to use all the recycling bottles and stuff in an interesting way. I think its DISGUSTING and DISTURBING about how much plastic and garbage is left in the ocean!

Good Luck Plastiki on your journey!
