Plastiki...



is being costructed by David de Rothschild who will be setting sail this summer from San Francisco to Sydney. Plastiki is a 60 ft. boat made from used 2 liter plastic bottles and other recycled materials. He is removing garbage from the ocean and turning it into a reusable and functioning form of transporation, hoping to bring more awareness to waste.
