  • Plastiki
    San Francisco recently saw the unveiling of the Plastiki, a boat constructed of <b>12,500 2-liter plastic bottles</b> that will be embarking on a <b>7,500 mile</b> journey to Sydney this spring. Built by Adventure Ecology and captained by David de Rothschild, the vessel will brave the waters surrounding the ‘Great Pacific Garbage Patch’ in an attempt to bring awareness to the mounting plastic debris floating in our Oceans. If the 50 knots of wind and rain at the unveiling last Friday, followed by tsunami warnings post-earthquake in Chile the following day, are any indication of what the crew could face on their voyage, we wish them luck!...<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/plastiki-plastic-bottle-boat-unveiled-in-san-francisco/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
