The Plastiki

The Plastiki is a catamaran with a hull made out of 12,500 bottles filled with air, and it was set sail from San Francisco to Sydney. The voyage was lead by David Rothschild who was the founder of the plastiki and he is also accompanied by 2 of his crew.  On the boat, they have solar panels, a vegetable stand so they can have food during the voyage and many more things. They're trying to tell everyone to recycle their own plastic bottles just like they did. That's why they invented the Plastiki.

You've got some good info here, Rgee, plus a good graphic. The main point of the voyage, though, is to draw attention to the amount of trash dumped into our oceans.

These guys are committed to making our world a better place, eh?
