The PLASTIKI



The Plastiki

The picture that is shown above is the AWESOME PLASTIKI! the boat is made out of recycled plastic bottles but not all of the parts of the boat is made out of plastic bottles only the bottom part. Their goal is to sail the Plastiki from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia an 11 thousand mile journey don't you think it's cool?
David de Rothschild came up with the idea of the Plastiki and it took him 3 years to build this amazing boat Plastiki. It took him 3 years to build it because first he has to sketch the model of the Plastiki then he built it. He said that we should start using waste as resource. The Plastiki is actually made out of 12,500 plastic bottles that is a lot! In the Plastiki there is a quite big cabin in there and also they put a small vegetable garden which is cool.
David de Rothschild built the Plastiki because he wanted to make it out of waste like he said using waste as resource.

You've got some great information here, Nadia, particularly on the boat and the people who built it.

But what about the point of the whole thing. What they are trying to do is raise our awareness about the amount of plastic thrown into our oceans. It's a lot, and way too much.
